Conductance-based refractory density approach: comparison with experimental data and generalization to lognormal distribution of input current.

abstract：:A new association scheme which can still recall appropriate data when some key elements are missing (blank) is presented. The traditional associative memory models are designed to deal with complete (memorized) keys, but in the real world, key elements are often missing due to error, equipment failure, observation dif...
