INTERSPIKE INTERVAL DECODING NEURAL NETWORK

A multi-layered neural network is disclosed that converts an incoming temporally coded spike train into a spatially distributed topographical map from which interspike-interval and bandwidth information may be extracted. This neural network may be used to decode multiplexed pulse-coded signals embedded serially in an incoming spike train into parallel distributed topographically mapped channels. A signal processing and code conversion algorithm not requiring learning is provided.
