{\it Our response}
- To be completed
+ Indeed, our contributions are twofold. Firstly, we present how to
+ construct chaotic neural networks, according to Devaney's definition
+ of chaos, and we discuss their evaluation. Secondly, we study the
+ capacity of classical multilayer feedfoward neural networks to
+ predict chaotic data. To highlight clearly these contributions we
+ have changed the title of our paper, as said above.
\item Please explain the Line 242( "than chaotic iterations Ff with
initial condition............" ) and Line 298( "investigate, when
comparing neural networks and Devaney's chaos").
{\it Our response}
- To be completed
+ We have corrected lines 402-405 (now lines 419-422) as follows:
+ ``For all those feedforward network topologies and all outputs the
+ obtained results for the non-chaotic case outperform the chaotic
+ ones. Finally, the rates for the strategies show that the different
+ feedforward networks are unable to learn them.'' More generally, in
+ the whole paper the term feedforward has been added, when needed, to
+ clarify our discussion.
\item Please explain the meanings of the percentage in TABLE I and
TABLE II.

+ {\it Our response}
- To be completed
+ We have explained how the success rates (percentage) are computed
+ lines~405-407.
\item Except for prediction success rates, in order to reflect the
prediction ability, please add the analysis of the prediction errors
for data sequence and diagram it.
{\it Our response}
- To be completed
+ We have added two figures (Figures~3 and 4) and some comments about them
+ lines~425-431. We hope that we have answered the reviewer remark.

\begin{itemize}
{\it Our response}
+ As suggested by the reviewer the conclusion has been shortened and we
+ have presented those definitions differently.

We are very grateful to the reviewers who, by their recommendations,
