A sensor-effector system includes an array of sensor-effector transducers providing a plurality of sensed signals and applying a plurality of effector signals. The array provides signals to input signal conditioning circuitry which digitizes and filters the plurality of sensed signals. A processor receives the digitized signals, and processes them to generate multiple feature vectors. It also analyzes the feature vectors to identify patterns and classify the identified patterns and generates at least one response vector resulting from the recognized pattern. The response vector is applied to output signal conditioning circuitry, coupled which converts the response vector to at least one analog signal which is applied as an effector signal to the array of sensor-effector transducers.
