✦ Synopsis


We present a hardware realization ofKohonen's algorithm usingmany simple, linearly coupled active elements. namely a reaction-diffusion medium. that is a spatially extendedactive element. This mediumalso controls the learning-process. Both classification and learning are realized in a way that only next-neighbor coupling is necessary. We exemplif y the learning process by means ofsome simpletasks.
