“…Using pure phase models as an adiabatic approximation, associative memory has been implemented by identifying the coupling strengths with Hebbian weights (Abbott, 1990;Sompolinsky, Golomb, & Kleinfeld, 1990, 1991Baldi & Meir, 1990;Kuramoto, Aoyagi, Nishikawa, Chawanya, & Okuda, 1992;Sompolinsky & Tsodyks, 1992;Kuzmina & Surina, 1994;Kuzmina, Manykin, & Surina, 1995). The corresponding step in the context of phase and amplitude dynamics was taken by using a complexified analog of the Cohen-Grossberg-Hopfield function (Takeda & Kishigami, 1992;Chakravaraty & Gosh, 1994;Aoyagi, 1995;Hoppensteadt & Izhikevitch, 1996). This approach imitated the method that was used for discrete dynamics (Noest, 1988a(Noest, , 1988b.…”
