An existing mathematical model using a single, time-dependent parameter controlling all synapses in a network of oscillatory neurons was investigated for its feasibility in a real-life application. Particular attention was paid to the requirements on experimental accuracy. Based on this analysis, a prototype circuit of 8 coupled electronic oscillators was designed and built. The network reliably recognized one out of three given 8-bit binary patterns from an input that had a defect in one bit.
