N2 - One of the most important features of artificial neural networks in emerging, brain-inspired, nanoarchitectural design is their inherent ability to perform massively parallel, nonlinear signal processing. When operating in a system-wide asynchronous regime, such networks may exhibit a phenomenon referred to as "computational chaos", which impedes the efficient retrieval of information usually stored in the system's attractors. In this paper, we illustrate the emergence of computational chaos from fixed point and limit cycle attractors for node communication delays in a widely used neural network model. In particular, the complete Lyapunov spectrum associated with the network dynamics is computed, and conditions that prevent the emergence of chaos are derived.
