Autoassociative Memory and Pattern Recognition in Micromechanical Oscillator Network

Abstract Towards practical realization of brain-inspired computing in a scalable physical system, we investigate a network of coupled micromechanical oscillators. We numerically simulate this array of all-to-all coupled nonlinear oscillators in the presence of stochasticity and demonstrate its abili...
