This electronic circuit was built by John Hopfield in the early 2000s in connection with a course he taught at Princeton University. Hopfield had made significant contributions to machine learning in the 1980s, with neural networks, which are crucial in artificial intelligence.
Hopfield considers practical building to be essential to understanding.
"I designed a lab course in electronics for neural networks. My strong feeling was that we obtain a deep understanding of how a NN behaves by building and exploring the activity dynamics. Begin with small circuits, each student has her/his own assembled by hand from a pile of electronic components. This is my own demonstration-assembly of the 4th week project."
The circuit consists partly of diodes that turn on and off when different parts of it interact.
John Hopfield donated the circuit to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2024. - Pristagare
