[comp.ai.neural-nets] Alkon's SA article on NN: any papers?

hoss@ethz.UUCP (Guido Hoss) (07/15/89)

July's Scientific American features an article by D.L. Alkon on neural
systems in nature and computing. He presents the outline of a computer
neural network "derived from biological systems" which seems to perform
better than "nonbiological" neural networks using conventional algorithms.
Can anyone point me to additional literature and papers detailing the
concepts and algorithms of his implementation? 

Please reply by e-mail; I will post a summary to the net.

Thanks
