THE COGNITIVE MODELS USING OSCILLATORY NEURAL NETS

Abstract

Oscillatory neural nets needs energy efficient neurons and synapses in its hardware implementation, as a candidate, Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ), which are known energy efficient devices [1-3], can be functioning as a neuron or synapse in a neural net. In this work, we have proposed a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based Oscillatory Neural Network (ONN) for binary image recognition. The ONN architecture is proposed and possible design aspects are presented. The response time of the network may be faster with respect to the operating frequencies of the STO.
