Abstract

The dynamics of coupled nonlinear oscillators are extremely rich and important for a large variety of physical, technological, and biological systems. We present results for three different applications: a study of the complex behavior of several coupled electronic relaxation oscillators; a network of electronic neurons designed to simulate the dynamics of a cat retina; and an array of coupled nonlinear oscillators that can perform scene segmentation and pattern recognition
