Patent No. 6354298 Method for storing and retrieving sequential information
Patent No. 6354298
Method for storing and retrieving sequential information (Landfield, et al., Mar 12, 2002)
Abstract
A method and design is provided for distributing and storing sets of temporally ordered information in a systematic and sequential fashion. This method is based on a model of how the brain functions in the distribution and storage of temporally ordered memories, but it can also be applied to the design of new biological, electronic or optical devices. These devices may be used in the testing and development of new therapeutic drugs, in the detection of toxic agents or impaired performance, or in the development of new industrial and consumer devices in which the orderly storage of sequential information is important.
