(a) Enlarging the signal-to-noise ratio by M. acuminata-inspired multiaveraging structures. The real signal (blue) is demodulated by a large band average (green) and a small band average (red) routine. By defining the red average line as zero line of a noise cleaned spectrum, the yellow spectrum represents the nonnoisy information spectrum, where the -axis is the number of sensors (91 considered for this simulation) and -axis interactions of the neural network. (b) Image processing by neural based self-adaptive weighting routines, for hyperbola and/or significant object detection. Via variable simulated receptive fields and new kinds of synaptic structures of the image processing neurons, connected subpicture structures are enhanced while other (diffuse) subpicture structures are suppressed automatically (the white triangles mark the zenith of the hyperbola).
