A hierarchically-structured model of information processing in neural networks.
In order to describe the information processing mechanisms of a neural system a basic building block (sub-network), consisting of a group of interacting neural elements, is introduced. By interconnecting such units to give an integrated structure, a hierarchically-organised processing chain is formed. The properties of such a system are shown to provide a logical description of information processing which links high level events with underlying neural mechanisms.
