Ths scheme s dfferent to the prncple of conventonal learnng methods. The proposed scheme s appled to the problem of tme-space analyss of multple sound source locatons n D space. The number of sources s assumed 6 sounds wth a tme-frame of 5 sec, and number and sze of sensors are 6 and 0. meter cubc. The proposed scheme s confrmed wth well concdence of generaton tmes and locatons.. Key-Words: - Locaton estmaton, tme-space analyss, synchronzed neural system Locaton Estmaton A useful method s studed for sgnal processng of tme-space sequences based on novel neural networks. Ths algorthm was used for dscrmnaton of mpulse sgnals receved from spatally dstrbuted multple sound sources. Generaton of mpulse sgnals are at random temporally and spatally, vbraton sensors are set at each quarter of a square space. A system s consdered wth the followng confguraton. Impulse sound sgnals are receved from multple sound sources located at arbtrary ponts n space. Impulse sgnal s generated at arbtrary tme for each sound source. These receved data are treated as tme-space sequences. Sensor system s settled shown n Fg.. Multple Sources exst on arbtrary poston n a space. Four sensors are put n the corner of the cubc. Impulse sgnals from sources reached to sensors wth tme dfference. The locatons of the sources are calculated usng the tme dfference of reached mpulse sgnals. Ths paper descrbes a study on mechansm of locaton estmaton n bran based on sgnal processng bass va electrcal and bologcal approaches. The word locaton ncludes dstance and drecton whch are ponts n space coordnates. Locaton n D space has been reported already[]. Locaton for D space s taken up n ths paper. System Confguraton A useful method s studed for sgnal processng of tme-space sequences based on novel neural networks. Ths algorthm was used for dscrmnaton of mpulse sgnals receved from spatally dstrbuted multple sound sources. Generaton of mpulse sgnals are at random temporally and spatally, vbraton sensors are set at each quarter of a square space. A system s consdered wth the followng confguraton. Impulse sound sgnals are receved from multple sound sources located at arbtrary ponts n space. Impulse sgnal s generated at arbtrary tme for each sound source. These receved data are treated as tme-space sequences. Sensor system s settled shown n Fg.. Multple Sources exst on arbtrary poston n a plane. Four sensors are put n the corner of the plane. Impulse sgnals from sources reached to sensors wth tme dfference. The locatons of the sources are calculated usng the tme dfference of reached mpulse sgnals. When the mpulse ntervals are enough long, t s easy to decde the set of mpulse from same source and to estmate the poston of sound sources. ISBN: 978--6804-08-7 0
However, actually a sensor receves the mpulse sgnals from dfferent sources mxed on tme axs. Tme-space data analyss for locaton of multple sources was not avalable wthout decson of combnaton of mpulse receved n sensors. But ths procedure requres huge number of calculaton to evaluate all combnatons of mpulses. 6 axes are used for D space n place of 4 axes for D space. The same neural system s used except number of axes to derve for D space data processng algorthm for separaton and dentfcaton of mpulse from multple sound sources.

Multple sound pulse sources are randomly generated on tme and space. Evaluaton condton s as follows; A NN s composed to solve equaton (). Number of sound sources ~7, Transmsson tme of pulse E =, j W j V V j + U V V : output voltage of -th neuron [V], U : threshold current of -th neuron [A], W j : conductance of -th to j-th neuron [S]. --- () A physcal problem to fnd locatons for tme-space sequence data s expressed as a mathematcal problem to solve equaton (), whch corresponds to convergence problem of electrc energy wrtten by equaton (). The solutons of analyss by a novel confguraton of NN are shown n Fg. 5 as an example. It s suffcently shown that newly proposed scheme and NN modelng are twce useful and effectve to solve problems whch are mpossble to express by mathematcal equaton for software for Neumann computers. ~0 sec Tme wndow for analyss = 5 sec The sound locatons are shown for the correct and calculated locatons wth square and cross marks. The error of estmaton was proved small enough practcally. The computer smulaton n Fg. 4 shows followng ponts; The resoluton of locaton of ponts s 0(cm) for multple sounds located at 0(m) from sensors. The capablty of separaton s equal to dstance of two ears of anmals at the pont of 00 tmes of sensor dstance. The capablty of locaton by audtory sensng s found exceedng human capablty. Ths study suggests superor capablty of anmals except human knd. Fg. 4 Result of estmaton ponts group n space. ISBN: 978--6804-08-7
6 Dscussons Acknowledgment: Ths paper s based on recent studes about tmespace sensng capablty of anmals, and our approach s also ntroduced about sensng executed by audtory sensaton. Weakly electrc fsh has not been analyzed about locaton capablty except jammng avodance response behavor based on dfferental values of zero-cross tme correlatng to frequences of electrcal feld. Barn owl has not been analyzed about dstance of source except drecton audtory sensng. Locaton fndng for sngle source s acheved by the methods of passve or actve sonars. Conventonal methods are not avalable for multple sources on space and tme wth random generaton. Our modelng s presented based on mathematcal and bologcal knowledge of central nerve systems. mpulse number n the second sensor ( = ) z-th 4 The authors express sncere grattude for Professor Tomoyuk Hguch, drector-general, and Professor Hroe Tsubak, vce drector-general, and Professor Noboru Sonehara, project leader of System of Human and Socety for ther leadershps and knd supports for ths research.
