A reconfigurable continuous time recurrent neural network for evolvable hardware applications

Evolvable hardware is reconfigurable hardware plus an evolutionary algorithm. Continuous time recurrent neural networks (CTRNNs) have been proposed for use as the reconfigurable hardware component. Until recently, however, nearly all CTRNN based EH was simulation based. This poster details a design for a reconfigurable analog CTRNN computer that supports both extrinsic and intrinsic CTRNN evolvable hardware.
