This was probably a dumb question to ask anyway on c.ai.nn, so I'll
try another (no bordeom flames please - I'm new to this game and don't know
the jargon!). . .
Who out there has a simulation of groups of neurons operating with pulses
and local adaption algorithms? I have been thinking of setting up a system
using 1000+ neurons operating on speech spectra in real time, and was
wondering how succesful simple (modified) Hebbian learning would be at
recognising phonemes/words? (which is the most appropriate newsgroup for this?)
