Abstract
The probabilistic random access memory (pRAM) is a device with neuron-like behaviour. It differs from the conventional model of a neuron in that it may implement nonlinear functions and is stochastic in operation. A features of this device is that it is hardware-realisable and VLSI devices have been made of a four-input version, the 4-pRAM. The basic pRAM device can have a learning function added to it and one such learning task is presented. pRAM arrays have applications in computer imaging and their incorporation into a modular image processing system is described
