The `Neural Pipeline' is introduced as an arti cial neural network architecture that controls information ow using its own connection structure. The architecture is multi-layered with `external' connections between the layers to control the data. Excitatory connections transfer data from each layer to the next and inhibitory feedback connections run from each layer to the previous layer. Using ...
