چکیده
This paper presents a novel neural oscillator model that is inspired by biological oscillation models and is easily implemented in subthreshold analog CMOS VLSI. The proposed model uses local coupling among neuron units. Synchrony and information propagation are demonstrated in chains and rings of the oscillators.

متن کاملWeight Perturbation: An Optimal Architecture and Learning Technique for Analog VLSI Feedforward and Recurrent Multilayer Networks
Previous work on analog VLSI implementation of multilayer perceptrons with on-chip learning has mainly targeted the implementation of algorithms such as back-propagation. Although back-propagation is efficient, its implementation in analog VLSI requires excessive computational hardware. It is shown that using gradient descent with direct approximation of the gradient instead of back-propagation...
