A Neural Net for the Recall of Sequences.

Edwin W. Paxson

ResearchPublished 1963

A report on a neural net used to study certain elementary aspects of the overt behavior of the central nervous system. The net presented in this Memorandum is based on the requirement that all the elements in a sequence, presented as stimuli during a short interval of time, must remain present as a serial memory trace and be available for serial recall in the order given. Time may be represented by space storage along a chain of neutrons. Consequently, a mechanism equivalent to scanning is needed to lay down the trace and to replay the sequence. 30 pp
