Most of the real world is governed by complex and chaotic dynamical systems. All of these dynamical systems pose a challenge in modelling them using neural networks. Currently, reservoir computing, which is a subset of recurrent neural networks, is actively used to simulate complex dynamical systems. In this work, a two dimensional activation function is proposed which includes an additional temporal term to impart dynamic behaviour on its output. The inclusion of a temporal term alters the fundamental nature of an activation function, it provides capability to capture the complex dynamics of time series data without relying on recurrent neural networks.
