Abstract :
One type of neurocomputer recently proposed, the folded-array digital neural emulator using tree accumulation and communication structures, incorporates a new concept in representing an artificial digital neuron. Beginning from the parallel distributed processing (PDP) neuron model, the folded-array digital neural emulator is briefly described. Then by applying the folded-array concepts to the PDP model, the folded axon/dendrite tree neuron is created which, in a general form, represents a new model for the neural paradigm
