Optical implementations of associative networks with versatile adaptive learning capabilities.

TL;DR: The practical issues involved in real optical architectures are analyzed, and actual laboratory optical implementations of associative modules based on Hebbian and Widrow-Hoff learning rules are discussed, including successful experimental demonstrations of their operation.

Fast and robust learning by reinforcement signals: Explorations in the insect brain

TL;DR: The structural organization of the insect brain appears to be suitable for both fast learning of new stimuli and reasonable performance in stationary conditions and it is extremely robust to damage to the brain structures involved in sensory processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable and rapid recurrent processing in realistic autoassociative memories

TL;DR: Simulations of a model network with integrate-and-fire units confirm that cued-elicited memory retrieval, which follows an exponential time course, occurs in a time linearly related to the time constant for synaptic conductance inactivation and relatively independent of neuronal time constants and firing levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

A working memory model based on fast Hebbian learning

TL;DR: An alternative hypothesis is presented, that fast Hebbian synaptic plasticity is the mechanism underlying working memory and a computational model demonstrates a working memory function that is more resistant to distractors and network inhomogeneity compared to previous models, and that is also capable of storing multiple memories.

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.

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.
