Based on recent work by Gripon and Berrou, we introduce a new model of an associative memory. We show that this model has an efficiency bounded away from 0 and is therefore significantly more effective than the well known Hopfield model. We…
Priming is the ability of the brain to more quickly activate a target concept in response to a related stimulus (prime). Experiments point to the existence of an overlap between the populations of the neurons coding for different stimuli.…
