A system and method for artificial neural network processing includes, for example, modifying, by a computer processor, a value of a charge of a node of an artificial neural depending on a number of elapsed steps since a prior predefined significant event. A system and method includes, for example, providing by a processor a real-time representation of an artificial neural network and of graphical effects of a running of the neural network. A system and method includes, for example, automatically modifying the behavior of network nodes based on simultaneous occurrences of events.
