Abstract
An associative artificial neuron and method of forming output signals of an associative artificial neuron includes receiving a number of auxiliary input signals; forming from the auxiliary input signals a sum weighted by coefficients and applying a non-linear function to the weighted sum to generate a non-linear signal. The neuron and method further include receiving a main input signal and forming, based on the main signal and the non-linear signal, the function S OR V, which is used to generate a main output signal, and at lest one of three logical functions S AND V, NOT S AND V, and S AND NOT V. The at least one logical function is used to generate an additional output signal for the associative artificial neuron.
