THE BASIC NEURON ENTITY

The neuron cell is composed of a memory, a set of 6 registers and some logic gates. For details, please refer to
chapter 3 of the

NeuroMem technology Reference Guide

-

Context register: input describing the type of pattern stored in the neuron

-

Memory holds a model or prototype

-

Category register: input written during a learning operation (whether supervised or unsupervised)

-

Distance: output given the distance between an input pattern and the pattern stored in the Memory of
the neuron

-

AIF: Active Influence Field auto-adjusted by the neuron

-

MINIF: Minimum influence field of the neuron

-

Identifier: Position of the neuron in the chain of neurons available

A neuron is said committed when it stores a pattern to its memory along with a category with a value different
from 0. Such action takes place when a learning operation is executed and none of the presently committed
neurons recognize the pattern with a category equal to the category to learn.
