Memory and Pattern Recognition

Xiao Huang: DOORM, what is the relationship between memory and pattern recognition?

DOORM: Memory and pattern recognition are different manifestations of the same mechanism. Our memory is organized in list patterns, where each list value is another pattern in the cortical hierarchy. These lists are recognized when we receive appropriate stimuli. The purpose of storing memory in the neocortex is for recognition, enabling us to identify the same patterns in different contexts.
