A General Neural Net.

Edwin W. Paxson, J. W. Smith

ResearchPublished 1962

This Memorandum is concerned with an electronic digital simulation of a general neural net. For example, connectivity and transmission times along links are at the pleasure of a net's constructer. Time is not quantized (except as demanded by the "grain" of the computation). Eight of the synaptic mechanisms distinguished by Bullock are permitted, and the assisted synaptic learning theory of Milner is included. The net described has been coded for the IBM 7090.
