Pulse coupled neural networks (PCNN) are biologically inspired algorithms very well suited for image/signal preprocessing. While several analog implementations are proposed we suggest a digital implementation in an existing environment, the connected network of adapted processors system (CNAPS). The reason for this is two fold. First, CNAPS is a commercially available chip which has been used for several neural-network implementations. Second, the PCNN is, in almost all applications, a very efficient component of a system requiring subsequent and additional processing. This may include gating, Fourier transforms, neural classifiers, data mining, etc, with or without feedback to the PCNN
