چکیده

It is a well-known fact that oscillatory networks can operate as Hoppeld-like neural networks, the only difference being that their attractors are limit cycles: one for each memorized pattern. The neuron activities are synchronized on the limit cycles, and neurons oscillate with xed phase diierences (time delays). We prove that this property is a natural attribute of general weakly connected neural networks, and it is relatively independent of the equations that describe the network activity. In particular, we prove an analogue of the Cohen-Grossberg convergence theorem for oscil-latory neural networks.

Weakly pulse-coupled oscillators, FM interactions, synchronization, and oscillatory associative memory

We study pulse-coupled neural networks that satisfy only two assumptions: each isolated neuron fires periodically, and the neurons are weakly connected. Each such network can be transformed by a piece-wise continuous change of variables into a phase model, whose synchronization behavior and oscillatory associative properties are easier to analyze and understand. Using the phase model, we can pr...

Pattern formation in active oscillatory media and its relation to associative memory networks

We continue to study the arrays of nonlinear coupled oscillators. The networks of associative memory based on limit-cycle oscillators connected via complex-valued Hermitian matrices were previously designed. Another class of networks consisting of locally connected nonlinear oscillators, closely related to so-called cellular neural networks, is the subject of study in the present paper. In spat...

Oscillatory Neurocomputers with Dynamic Connectivity

Our study of thalamo-cortical systems suggests a new architecture for a neurocomputer that consists of oscillators having different frequencies and that are connected weakly via a common medium forced by an external input. Even though such oscillators are all interconnected homogeneously, the external input imposes a dynamic connectivity. We use Kuramoto’s model to illustrate the idea and to pr...

Pattern Segmentation in Associative Memory

The goal of this paper is to show how to modify associative memory such that it can discriminate several stored patterns in a composite input and represent them simultaneously. Segmention of patterns takes place in the temporal domain, components of one pattern becoming temporally correlated with each other and anticorrelated with the components of all other patterns. Correlations are created n...
