A neural network includes a plurality of inputs for receiving input signals, and synapses connected to the inputs and having corrective weights. The network additionally includes distributors. Each distributor is connected to one of the inputs for receiving the respective input signal and selects one or more corrective weights in correlation with the input value. The network also includes neurons. Each neuron has an output connected with at least one of the inputs via one synapse and generates a neuron sum by summing corrective weights selected from each synapse connected to the respective neuron. Furthermore, the network includes a weight correction calculator that receives a desired output signal, determines a deviation of the neuron sum from the desired output signal value, and modifies respective corrective weights using the determined deviation. Adding up the modified corrective weights to determine the neuron sum minimizes the subject deviation for training the neural network.
