Abstract

We focus on the oscillatory aspects of neural components and their roles in neural system functionality such as adaptability. This study provides an implementation of adaptive control by using a network system consisting of oscillators and capacitive couplers. The functionality of oscillators alone is fairly limited, but capacitive couplers change interaction between oscillators, enabling logical operations, absolute function, gain variable amplifiers, and adaptive control. We provide basic functional networks of oscillators and capacitive couplers and demonstrate adaptive control implementation based on these functions.
