Abstract
Although several kinds of computational associative memory models and emotion models have been proposed since the last century, the interaction between memory and emotion is almost always neglected in these conventional models. This study constructs a dynamic memory system, named the amygdala-hippocampus model, which intends to realize dynamic auto-association and the mutual association of time-series patterns more naturally by adopting an emotional factor, i.e., the functional model of the amygdala given by Morén and Balkenius. The output of the amygdala is designed to control the recollection state of multiple chaotic neural networks (MCNN) in CA3 of the hippocampus-neocortex model proposed in our early work. The efficiency of the proposed association system is verified by computer simulation using several benchmark time-series patterns.
