A local connected neural oscillator network for pattern segmentation

Abstract

This paper proposes the local connected neural oscillator network which is useful for image processing. In this proposed network, each neural oscillator employs a learning method to control its phase and frequency. Since the learning method has an ability to control the phase adjustment of each neural oscillator, the information expression in the phase space is achievable. Furthermore, it is considered that the network has the ability to achieve real time image processing and information processing in a time series. The learning method is possible under the assumption that synapses have plasticity. However, since it is supposed that only the feedback synapse has plasticity, we can construct a network with high simplicity.
