In multistate neural associative memories, some neurons have small noise and the others have large noise. If we know which neurons have small noise, the noise tolerance could be improved. In this brief, we provide a novel method to reinforce neurons with small noise and apply our new method to images with the Gaussian noise. A complex-valued multistate neuron is decomposed to two neurons, referred to as high and low neurons. For the Gaussian noise, the high neurons are expected to have small noise. The noise tolerance is improved by reinforcement of high neurons. The computer simulations support the efficiency of reinforced neurons.
