A spatial image processor neural network for processing image data to
discriminate between first and second spatial configurations of component
objects includes a photo transducer input array for converting an input
image to pixel data and sending the data to a localized gain network (LGN)
module, a parallel memory processor and neuron array for receiving the
pixel data and processing the pixel data into component recognition
vectors and chaotic oscillators for receiving the recognition vectors and
sending feedback data to the LGN module as attention activations. The
network further includes a temporal spatial retina for receiving both the
pixel data and temporal feedback activations and generating temporal
spatial vectors, which are processed by a temporal parallel processor into
temporal component recognition vectors. A spatial recognition vector array
receives the temporal component recognition vectors and forms an object
representation of the first configuration of component objects.
