A fuzzy neuron of a serial processing type includes memory for storing a membership function value mu (j, i), an address A(j, i) of each of pixels of pattern data in which the membership function value is defined, and a membership function identifier J to which the membership function value belong, in a set in a membership function memory (102). The fuzzy neuron is not fixed in a hardware manner for the purpose of recognizing a specific pattern, but it can be applied to an arbitrary pattern in a software manner by rewriting the membership function. Various characteristic division areas can be defined and, for this reason, it is possible to set a characteristic division area best for recognition every pattern and thus a rate of recognition can be enhanced to a great extent when compared with the prior art.
