Abstract A temporal variant of Foldiak's first model with lateral inhibitory synaptic weights is proposed. The usual symmetric scalar values of the lateral weights are replaced with data driven asymmetric memory based lateral weights, which take the form of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) coefficients. Linear anti-Hebbian learning, as defined by Foldiak (IEEE/INNS International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 1989) and Matsuoka et al. (Neural Networks, Vol. 8, pp. 411–419, 1995), is employed in the self-organisation of the network weights. The temporal anti-Hebbian learning, when applied to the separation of convolved mixtures of signals, causes the network weights to converge to the truncated FIR filter coefficients of the unmixing transfer function and so recover the original signals. Simulation results are presented for separating two natural speech sources convolved and mixed by a priori unknown direct and cross-coupled transfer functions. We compare temporal anti-Hebbian learning with information maximisation learning when applied to the blind separation of convolved sources.
