It’s clear to me that Hopfield networks have had a big impact on how we think about memory and the hippocampus (memories as attractor states; pattern completion). Are there any good explicit discussions of this: the impact of Hopfield nets on the memory field?

The Barack and Krakauer basically claims that there are two views about how neural computation works: the Sherringtonian and Hopfieldian. But maybe not exactly what you are looking for?

Yes, this is a great suggestion. I can't think of any other reviews of the specific impact of Hopfield Networks on memory research off the top of my head though. There are more general reviews about attractor models...

@tyrell_turing @jerlich @NicoleCRust @cogneurophys @charanranganath @PessoaBrain

It does seem like the hop field has split into memory and (continuous) attractor camps. Would be curious for someone to... unite them in one model that's All We Need™️

A good recent review on the attractor side of things: nature.com/articles/s41583-022

Have you played with these "Hopfield Layer" networks?
