1. An information processing system with a neural network processor, the processor comprising:
- an input means for receiving a plurality of input signals;
an output means for providing at least one output signal;
an arrangement between the input means and the output means for implementing a neural transformation of the plurality of input signals for generating the output signal,wherein the arrangement comprises;
a substantially continuous medium for propagating a response field as an unchanneled wave pattern throughout the medium in response to the plurality of input signals, the response field being non-linearly dependent on at least one of the input signals, and whereinthe medium has at least one inhomogeneity for affecting the wave pattern of the response field in the medium, the medium producing the output signal upon coupling at least a first response representative of the response field at a first location in the medium, to the output means.

Abstract
An information processing system comprises a neural net with fully distributed neuron and synapse functionalities in a spatially inhomogeneous medium to propagate a response field from an input to an output. The response field is a reaction of the medium to a plurality of input signals and depends non-linearly on the input signals. The response field is also determined by the inhomogeneities. The value of the field at one or more particular locations is indicative of one or more output signals of the neural net.
