TLDR
The modified static system described here is an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model and takes account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers to imitate human memory with models.Abstract:
THE static model of temporal recall which I recently proposed1 as an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model2 is unsatisfactory in one respect. From a fragment which is remembered it can recall earlier parts of the whole sequence. This is unlike human memory which can readily recall later parts, but earlier parts only with great difficulty, if at all, especially if the sequence has been memorized by rote. If we want to imitate human memory with models, we must take account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers. Longuet-Higgins' model possesses this property, and so does the modified static system described here.read more

Non-holographic associative memory
TL;DR: The features of a hologram that commend it as a model of associative memory can be improved on by other devices.
Journal Article
Neuronal assemblies
TL;DR: The concept of neuronal assembly as it has appeared in selected portions of the literature is examined and it is shown that the dynamic firing correlation can be caused either by dynamic changes in neuronal connection strengths or by the effects of an unobserved (large) pool of other neurons.

A theory of memory that explains the function and structure of the cerebellum.
TL;DR: The theory shows how groups of Purkinje cells could learn to fire with particular frequencies, through signals from the climbing fibres, on receiving different inputs from the parallel fibres and demonstrated that in this way the cerebellum could be used to memorise complex movements, with perfect coordination between the various muscles involved in a movement.

Quantum optical coherence in cytoskeletal microtubules: implications for brain function
TL;DR: A theoretical prediction of the occurrence in biological media of the phenomena which are term 'superradiance' and 'self-induced transparency' are presented, and microtubules are theorized to play the roles of non-linear coherent optical devices.

Information processing in microtubules.
Stuart R. Hameroff,R.C. Watt +1 more
TL;DR: Biological information functions could be explained by comparing microtubule structure and activities to Boolean switching matrices, parallel computers, and such technologies as transistor circuits, magnetic bubble memory, charge transfer devices, surface acoustic wave resonators, and/or holography.

Holographic Model of Temporal Recall
TL;DR: The time dimension is considered, because any perceptual event must certainly be associated with cerebral happenings which are extended not only in space but in time, and some familiar phenomena of perception be naturally explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holographic Model of Temporal Recall
TL;DR: It is shown that there is at least one other mathematical model, which is considered to be a closer analogue of holography, because it operates with triple products of the temporal function to be recognized or recalled.
