Abstract
We studied autoassociative networks in which synapses are noisy on a time scale much shorter that the one for the neuron dynamics. In our model a presynaptic noise causes postsynaptic depression as recently observed in neurobiological systems. This results in a nonequilibrium condition in which the network sensitivity to an external stimulus is enhanced. In particular, the fixed points are qualitatively modified, and the system may easily scape from the attractors. As a result, in addition to pattern recognition, the model is useful for class identification and categorization.
