	%X Image convolution similar to the receptive fields
found in mammalian visual pathways has long been used in
conventional image processing in the form of Gabor masks.
However, no VLSI implementation of parallel, multi-layered pulsed
processing has been brought forward which would emulate this
property. We present a technical realization of such a pulsed image
processing scheme. The discussed IC also serves as a general testbed
for VLSI-based pulsed information processing, which is of interest
especially with regard to the robustness of representing an analog
signal in the phase or duration of a pulsed, quasi-digital signal, as
well as the possibility of direct digital manipulation of such an
analog signal. The network connectivity and processing properties
are reconfigurable so as to allow adaptation to various processing
tasks.
