Neural computation by time concentration

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, The invention solves the problem of pattern recognition in a temporal signal that is subject to distortions and time warp. The arrangement embodying the invention comprises a neural network an input interconnection network, and a plurality of signal modification circuits. A plurality of input leads delivers apreselected characteristic stimulus to associated signal modification units and in, response to an applied stimulus each signal modification unit develops a plurality of output signals that begins at the time of stimulus application rises to a peak, and decays thereafter. The mean time delay of each output (time to reach the peak) is different for each of the modification unit …
