Uncertain recognition success, unfavorable scaling of connection complexity or dependence on complex external input impair the usefulness of current oscillatory neural networks for pattern recognition or restrict technical realizations to small networks. We propose a new network architecture of coupled oscillators for pattern recognition which shows none of the mentioned aws. Furthermore we illustrate the recognition process with simulation results and analyze the new dynamics analytically: Possible output patterns are isolated attractors of the system. Additionally, simple criteria for recognition success are derived from a lower bound on the basins of attraction.
