DTIC ADA278192: Assembly of a Neural Analog Computer. Phase 2

The aims of this project were the design and construction of a programmable analog neural computer. The development of the neural computer was motivated by the need for the unprecedented computational power required to solve real world problems in real time. Seemingly simple tasks such as seeing, hearing, and motion, easily performed by any animal, have proved to be beyond reach for even the most advanced computers. Although many of the computational principles and algorithms used by biological brains are now understood, simulations of neural networks on digital machines have shown that such machines cannot provide the necessary speed.
