that the register can hold since no action is required the input numbers are transmitted to the central processor unchanged the central processor adds the output of the four registers together and divides that sum by four to provide an average this outputted number is amplified by the buffer amplifier and transmitted to the next group of neural processing elements when any of the four inputs receives a new input number it also receives simultaneously a flag bit the register is now active and the new number is stored a new number in any register modifies the sum in the central processor and hence the output of the neural circuit should the output of the neural circuit tend toward a correct response the artificial neural system generates an excitatory post synaptic potential that is a signal of a first type that will increase that is reward the number stored in the active registers conversely should the output of the artificial neural system tend towards an incorrect response the system generates an inhibitory post synaptic potential that is a signal of a second type that reduces that is punishes the numbers stored in the active registers the present invention serves as an element of a digital artificial neural system combined with other like elements in an array is seen to provide a digital solution as those skilled in the digital arts recognize the elements are known and may be fabricated using existing technologies moreover because the.
