Abstract

In this chapter we introduce a biologically plausible model of the neural integrator model based on recurrent neural networks. Its original features are: fixed sign synaptic weights for all the network connections; and artificial transmission delays between the units. These improvements lead to the emergence of clusters in the weight structure of the lateral inhibitory connection layer. We will demonstrate that these clusters are not an artifact of computation.We will see that this spontaneous emergence of clusters in artificial neural networks, performing a well defined physico—mathematical task (a temporal integration) is owed to computational constraints, with a restricted space of solutions. Thus information processing constraints could be a plausible factor inducing the emergence of iterated patterns in biological neural networks.
