PATON: a model of concept representation and operation in brain

The authors propose a model of a concept representation unit-PATON- and its operations. PATON is based on the brain physiology of memory coding. It is a complex of symbol and pattern information. PATONs represent outer world events. PATON is represented on a conventional associative memory system and has an additional control mechanism to realise the concept operations. The control system simulates a sequence of attentions to modify network structure and the sequence realises an intelligent behaviour through the network dynamics.<>
