Abstract
We have analyzed the important problem of contemporary high-energy physics concerning the estimation of some parameters of the observed complex phenomenon. The standard statistical method of the data analysis and minimization was confronted with the Neural Network approaches. For the Natural Neural Networks we have used brains of high school students involved in our Roland Maze Project. The excitement of active participation in real scientific work produced their astonishing performance what is described in the present work. Some preliminary results are given and discussed.
