Abstract

Neural networks can represent complex functions, but are often constructed of very simple units. We investigate the limitations imposed by such a simple unit, the McCulloch-Pitts neuron. We explore the role of stochastic resonance in units of finite precision and show how to construct neural networks that overcome the limitations of single units.
