title: Associative memory retrieval induced by fluctuations in a pulsed neural network.
abstract: An associative memory retrieval in a pulsed neural network composed of the FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons is investigated. The memory is represented in the spatio-temporal firing pattern of the neurons, and the memory retrieval is accomplished using the fluctuations in the system. The storage capacity of the network is investigated numerically. It is demonstrated that this pulsed neural network is capable of an alternate retrieval of two patterns.
