A Discrete Holographic Model of Neural Memory in the Context of Invariant Perception and Recognition

Abstract

dc:description

We present a model of biological memory based on the mathematics of Fourier holography. The scheme employs the well-established neural processes of spatiotemporal summation and Hebbian plasticity to perform the necessary operations. It is shown to be a content-addressable, associative memory whose output is pseudoinvariant with respect to spatial translations of the input. The distributed nature of the encoding algorithm and its embodiment of parallel processing make it attractive as a model of the brain.
