Multiprocessors parallel computer for the signal processing of living nervous system

Abstract

The mode of action of psychopharmacons have been studied thoroughly by the analysis of firing patterns led from the living nervous system. Examining even a very small region of the brain requires enormous calculational capacity. This is most effective with the help of an artificial multiprocessing neural network, similar to the living nervous sytem. In the course of our work we use a self-developed 128-microelectrode block to decode the firing matrix of the living nervous system. The signals have been processed with the help of a 9-processor neural network. We have established a two-way analog contact with the living nervous system. Already known algorithms can be applied to the system, whilst the unique hardware structure also allows new algorithms to be developed.
