You are correct that Fuzzy Logic is a software...
Fuzzy Logic rice cookers are based on approximation rather than precision and it's very common among rice cookers. Neuro-Fuzzy Logic is an extension of that which allows the rice cooker to "think" and make adjustments throughout the cooking process. It uses a micro-chip to make calculations and optimize the cooking.

If you own an Induction stove, you might be familiar with the process of induction. In a nutshell, it is a non-contact heating process that uses ferromagnetic materials to produce heat. Therefore, the heat is coming directly from the pan itself and not the stovetop. That is why you might have heard that not all pans are suitable for induction stoves. The same goes for rice cookers. The heat is coming from the bowl holding your rice instead of the plate underneath it, ensuring even distribution of heat.
FYI...Looking thru the web, advantages and disadvantages of induction vs fuzzy logic:

Advantages
Induction ensures more even heat distribution than Fuzzy Logic by heating the entire inner pot rather than just the heating element beneath it.

Induction is more agile to temperature which allows it to increase or decrease the heat almost instantly and make precise adjustments.

It is usually faster to cook rice with Induction as there is faster heat conduction.

The rice tastes better and it's fluffier.


Disadvantages
Vastly more expensive.

Consumes more electricity than Fuzzy Logic

It's much heavier, so if you plan to store it and bring it out that might be an issue for you.

They are usually larger than Fuzzy Logic and take up more space.

Not ideal if you live alone as most tend to make rice for 3-4 people or more


Of course it also depends upon if you have the correct amount of water..Older rice (rice bought near the end of the year) tends to absorb more water than newer rice, so older rice may need more water. If the rice is a little dry from a newly bought bag of rice using the regular amount of water. Then the next time I make rice I just add a little more water..
Walmart now has it at $157.33 and a certain major CB site starting with R is offering 12% back

I have tried both, but I'm not sure I can justify paying double the price for induction heating. The rice is perfect with both cookers.

Agreed, Zojirushis are so good, and if you take care of them and clean the seals occasionally, they last a very long time. I think they had to come up with some gimmick to convince people to get a new model.

Man this is tempting. I have an older Tiger model that has a 2 cup minimum and would love to be able to just do 1 cup sometimes.

I thought so too. But I've tried the smaller models. I tend to make a much bigger mess trying to get the rice out of the smaller bowl. I bought this model 8-10 years ago from a thrift shop. Other than the battery dying, it's been great.

I mean, I'm Asian too but I couldn't see how rice can get much better as long as it's cooked correctly with the right amount of water . I just replaced my old 20 year old Tiger with a Zoji and it does just fine.

Care to elaborate on what about the induction makes the rice better? Would love to hear it.
