Abstract
The present invention mimics certain behaviors of a human brain using at least one frequency controllable oscillator block that has multiple operating frequency regions, such that some of the regions tend to lock on to a frequency, while other regions do not have any locking tendencies. A stimulation using at least one stimulation signal based on information input to the system may alter the regions and determine a stable final frequency after a brief processing interval. A control system may process the final frequency to provide system information. A controllable oscillator block may have at least one basin of attraction that corresponds with a stable region of the stimulation signal. Additionally, the controllable oscillator block may function outside of a basin of attraction that corresponds with a non-stable region of the stimulation signal.
