    Abstract

    Artificial general intelligence, which imitates the human brain, is aspired. Episodic memories are considered to be a key feature in building human brain functions. This paper proposes a memory-based entorhinal-hippocampal model that encodes spatial and non-spatial information, essential to realize episodic memories. The model works as a memory that stores the location of objects and events as neural activity packets. This paper also proposes an area-efficient hardware implementation method for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Our proposal utilizes on-chip random access memories (RAMs) to achieve a large-scale implementation of our model. Circuit simulations validated the behavior of our hardware-friendly model. The results of logic synthesis revealed the area efficiency of the FPGA implementation method that utilizes on-chip RAMs.
