Attractor Networks

What Is Attractor Networks

A sort of recurrent dynamical network known as an attractor network is one that gradually settles into a consistent pattern over the course of time. The nodes that make up the attractor network gradually move in the direction of a pattern, which can be either fixed-point, cyclic, chaotic, or random (stochastic). In the field of computational neuroscience, attractor networks have been extensively utilized to mimic neural processes including associative memory and motor behavior. Additionally, these networks have been utilized in biologically inspired machine learning techniques.An attractor network is made up of a collection of n nodes, each of which can be interpreted as a vector in a space of d dimensions, with n being more than d. Over the course of time, the state of the network will eventually gravitate toward one of a set of predetermined states located on a d-manifold. These states are known as the attractors.
