The possible application of algorithms derived from neural networks to the D0 experiment is discussed. The D0 data acquisition system is based on a large farm of MicroVaxes, each independently performing real-time event filtering. Advanced multiport memories in each MicroVAX node will enable special function processors to have direct access to event data. An exploratory study of back-propagation neural networks, such as might be configured in the nodes, for more efficient event filtering is described.>
