	For a Carver Mead type system described formally as a
neural network, you might check out (the award winning) :

"Cellular Neural Networks: Theory and Applications"
Leon O. Chua and Lin Yang
IEEE CAS vol35 no10 oct88

The paper (applications part) discusses several image processing 
techniques which are often used in recognition algorithms (like
edge extraction).  A Cellular Neural Network has a grid topology
and only local connections which both suggest image processing as
an application -- and also make for nice implementation on silicon.
