The letter reports on a previously unseen similarity between an associative memory model recently proposed for the brain and some electronic systems that have been developed for practical learning machines. This similarity is analysed, and its implications are discussed. Results of a comparison between the learning behaviour of an electronic network and a group of human subjects in a pattern-recognition task are given to complete the comparative study.

Inspec keywords: pattern recognition; learning systems; associative storage; brain models
