Abstract
A neural network architecture with self-organization in phase and actual space is proposed and discussed. Special type of differential local interconnections simulating diffusion, dispersion, and convection were investigated. It is shown that these interconnections are responsible for biological pattern formation in a homogeneous neural structure. The model suggests a phenomenological explanation of the mechanisms of edge detection in vision process.
