The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm has attracted an ever increasing amount of interest among researches and practitioners in a wide variety of elds The SOM and a variant of it, the LVQ, have been analyzed extensively, a number of variants of them have been developed and, perhaps most notably, they have been applied extensively within elds ranging from engineering sciences to medicine, biology, and economics We have collected a comprehensive list of 3343 scienti c papers that use the algorithms, have bene ted from them, or contain analyses of them The list is intended to serve as a source for literature surveys We have provided both a thematic and a keyword index to help nding articles of interest

We present a modification of Kohonens SOFMin order to simulate cortical plasticity induced by coactivation patterns. This is accomplished by introducing a probabilistic mode of stimulus presentation and by substituting the winner-takes- all mechanism by selecting the winner from a set of best matching neurons.

Modification of Kohonen's SOFM to Simulate Cortical Plasticity Induced by Coactivation Input Patterns

Experimental results are presented for an optically fed MMIC based self-oscillating mixer (SOM) at 19 GHz. A frequency reference, used to subharmonically synchronize the 19 GHz VCO, and FM data signals are optically distributed to generate RF signals for Ka-band communication satellites.
