Abstract

This paper introduces two Evolvable Hardware LSIs for neural network applications. They are developed as part of MITI’s Real World Computing Project. One is self-reconfigurable neural network chip for ontogenic neural network processing, having the processing capability equivalent to 10 Pentium II chips. The other LSI is for the pattern recognition for myoelectric artificial hand control.
