McCulloch-Pitts Brains and Pseudorandom Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a pioneering classic, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts proposed a model of the central nervous system. Motivated by EEG recordings of normal brain activity, Chvátal and Goldsmith asked whether these dynamical systems can be engineered to produce trajectories that are irregular, disorderly, and apparently unpredictable. We show that they cannot build weak pseudorandom functions.

Brains and pseudorandom generators
In a pioneering classic, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts proposed a model of the central nervous system; motivated by EEG recordings of normal brain activity, Chvátal and Goldsmith asked whether or not this model can be engineered to provide pseudorandom number generators. We supply evidence suggesting that the answer is negative.
متن کاملCan brains generate random numbers?
Motivated by EEG recordings of normal brain activity, we construct arbitrarily large McCulloch-Pitts neural networks that, without any external input, make every subset of their neurons fire in some iteration (and therefore in infinitely many iterations).
متن کاملPitts--a proposed new unit.
Dear Sir: I propose the establishment of a new intermediate unit of frequency-pitts. The pitts equals "pulses per second," "nerve pulses per second," or "spikes per second," all relatively clumsy terms used indeterminantly by neurophysiologists, brain research workers, and others. The proposed new unit honors the late Walter Pitts, colleague of the late Warren McCul-loch. Pitts and McCulloch, t...
متن کاملNeuroSymbolic Processing: Non-Monotonic Operators and Their FPGA Implementation
Recalling the insights of McCulloch and Pitts [4], von Neumann [9] and Minsky [5] we introduce some non monotonic operators implemented by means of new electronic devices (FPGA) for a NeuroSymbolic Processor (NSP). Some nets performing logical and arithmetic functions are also presented.
متن کاملA McCulloch-Pitts Neural Net to Characterize Even Linear Languages
We present a McCulloch-Pitts neural net to recognize even linear languages. The language class is studied in order to define the net topology. Finally, the equivalence between the language class and the languages recognized by the net is proved.
