CAM Storage of Analog Patterns and Continuous Sequences with 3N2 Weights
Box 808 (L-426), Livermore, Ca. 94550 A simple architecture and algorithm for analytically guaranteed associative memorystorage of analog patterns, continuous sequences, and chaotic attractors in the same network is described. A matrix inversion determines network weights, given prototype patterns to be stored.
Phase-coupling in Two-Dimensional Networks of Interacting Oscillators
Niebur, Ernst, Kammen, Daniel M., Koch, Christof, Ruderman, Daniel L., Schuster, Heinz G.
Coherent oscillatory activity in large networks of biological or artificial neuralunits may be a useful mechanism for coding information pertaining to a single perceptual object or for detailing regularities within a data set. We consider the dynamics of a large array of simple coupled oscillators under a variety of connection schemes. Of particular interest is the rapid and robust phase-locking that results from a "sparse" scheme where each oscillator is strongly coupled to a tiny, randomly selected, subset of its neighbors.
Stochastic Neurodynamics
The main point of this paper is that stochastic neural networks have a mathematical structure that corresponds quite closely with that of quantum field theory. Neural network Liouvillians and Lagrangians can be derived, just as can spin Hamiltonians and Lagrangians in QFf. It remains to show the efficacy of such a description.
Cholinergic Modulation May Enhance Cortical Associative Memory Function
Hasselmo, Michael E., Anderson, Brooke P., Bower, James M.
Combining neuropharmacological experiments with computational modeling, we have shown that cholinergic modulation may enhance associative memory function in piriform (olfactory) cortex. We have shown that the acetylcholine analogue carbachol selectively suppresses synaptic transmission between cells within piriform cortex, while leaving input connections unaffected. When tested in a computational model of piriform cortex, this selective suppression, applied during learning, enhances associative memory performance.
