“…Finally, an important direction is to enable the model to handle more complex memoranda, such as natural images. Recent applications of large-scale neural networks, such as the variational autoencoder, to modeling human memory hold promise ( Nagy et al, 2020 ; Bates and Jacobs, 2020 ; Franklin et al, 2020 ; Bates et al, 2023 ; Xie et al, 2023 ), though linking these to more realistic neural circuits remains a challenge.…”
