    Abstract: An apparatus includes a hardware sensor array including a plurality of pixels arranged along at least a first dimension and a second dimension of the array, each of the pixels capable of generating a sensor reading. A hardware scanning window array includes a plurality of storage elements arranged along at least a first dimension and a second dimension of the hardware scanning window array, each of the storage elements capable of storing a pixel value based on one or more sensor readings. Peripheral circuitry for systematically transfers pixel values, based on sensor readings, into the hardware scanning window array, to cause different windows of pixel values to be stored in the hardware scanning window array at different times. Control logic coupled to the hardware sensor array, the hardware scanning window array, and the peripheral circuitry, provides control signals to the peripheral circuitry to control the transfer of pixel values.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining synapses in an artificial nervous system based on connectivity patterns. One example method generally includes determining, for an artificial neuron, an event has occurred; based on the event, determining one or more synapses with other artificial neurons based on a connectivity pattern associated with the artificial neuron; and applying a spike from the artificial neuron to the other artificial neurons based on the determined synapses. In this manner, the connectivity patterns (or parameters for determining such patterns) for particular neuron types, rather than the connectivity itself, may be stored. Using the stored information, synapses may be computed on the fly, thereby reducing memory consumption and increasing memory bandwidth. This also saves time during artificial nervous system updates.
