'Quantum' neural networks

TL;DR: In this article, a two-state model of a neuron is proposed, in which the two neural states correspond to an "excited" and a "de-excited", respectively.

An integrated neuropathophysiological model of schizophrenia

TL;DR: A holistic model of schizophrenia is presented, developed from the premise that the neurophysiological correlate of consciousness is the cortical electrical interference pattern produced by the superimposition of the sensory event related potential on the basal alpha rhythm.

Learning in silicon: A neuromorphic model of the hippocampus

TL;DR: A neuromorphic model of the hippocampus, a brain region critical in associative memory, is presented by developing a new class of silicon neurons that synchronize by using shunting inhibition (conductance-based) with a synaptic rise-time.

Association and computation with cell assemblies

TL;DR: The possibility of this form of computation in terms of cell assemblies, where the resulting associations between assemblies only produce behavioristic processing or so-called regular computation, is discussed.

Theory of Optical Information Storage in Solids

TL;DR: The theory of three-dimensional optical storage lends support to Beurle’s proposed mechanism of information storage in the brain, and makes three- dimensional storage very suitable for associative memories.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved holographic model of temporal recall.

TL;DR: 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.

The Classification of Modifiable Synapses and Their Use In Models For Conditioning

TL;DR: It is argued that if the conditioning and memory mechanisms of the nervous system store information by means of modifiable synapses, some of these must be of class B or C, and if the models are to be given the property of extinction, classical conditioning requires modifiablesynapses of classes A and B or of class C.
