ABSTRACT:
A neural network simulator that comprises a sensory window memory capable of providing a system of neuron elements with an input consisting of data generated from sequentially sampled spatial and/or temporal patterns. Each neuron element comprises multiple levels, each of which is independently connected to the sensory window and/or to other neuron elements for receiving information corresponding to spatial and/or temporal patterns to be learned or recognized. Each neuron level comprises a multiplicity of pairs of synaptic connections that record ratios of input information so received and compare them to prerecorded ratios corresponding to learned patterns. The comparison is carried out for each synaptic pair according to empirical activation functions that produce maximum activation of a particular pair when the current ratio matches the learned ratio. When a sufficiently large number of synaptic pairs in a level registers a high activation, the corresponding neuron is taken to have recognized the learned pattern and produces a recognition signal.
