Homogeneous nets of neuron-like elements

Propagation and reverberation of excitation patterns are investigated for 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional homogeneous nets of neuron-like elements. A 1-dimensional net has a proper set of excitation patterns which only can be conducted in the net. Such a net has an ability of discriminating and shaping stimulus signals. Two types of self-reproducing reverberatory excitation patterns are shown for 2-dimensional homogeneous nets. An algebraic theory of general homogeneous nets is also developed.
