Visual inspection of the temporal earthquake frequency pattern of the Himalayas indicates the nature of thetectonic activity prevailing in this region. However, the quantifi cation of this dynamical pattern is essential for constraining amodel and characterizing the nature of earthquake dynamics in this region. We examine the temporal evolution of seismicity (M≥ 4) of the Central Himalaya (CH), Western Himalaya (WH) and Northeast Himalaya (NEH), for the period of 1960-2003 usingartifi cial neural network (ANN) technique. We use a multilayer feedforward artifi cial neural network (ANN) model to simulatemonthly resolution earthquake frequency time series for all three regions.
