Classification: G06N

Abstract:
A neuronal component, comprising:an input element for receiving an input signal including a sequence of pulses which are temporally modulated; an output element for providing an output which is phase locked to said input signal; at least one first neural network element configured as a phase detector having first and second inputs for receiving temporally modulated signals, and an output for supplying a signal having a firing rate which is a function of a time difference between said temporally modulated signals, said first input being connected to receive said input signal, and said output of said at least one neural network element being connected to said output element; and at least one second neural network element configured as a rate controlled oscillator having an input connected to said output of said at least one first neural network element, and an output connected to said second input of said at least one first neural network element.
