- You might look into the work of Walter Freeman who has done a lot of
- work in modeling olfaction. A good reference here is
-
- @ARTICLE{Skarda87a,
- AUTHOR = {Skarda, Christine A. and Freeman, Walter J.},
- TITLE = {How brains make chaos in order to make sense of the world},
- JOURNAL = {Behavioral and Brain Sciences},
- VOLUME = {10},
- PAGES = {161--195},
- YEAR = {1987}

- There are several articles in the NIPS proceedings. I would suggest looking
- at Neural Information Processing Systems 2 which has:
- "Associative Memory in a Simple Model of Oscillating Cortex" by Bill Baird
- and "Computer Simulation of Oscillatory Behavior in Cerebral Cortical
- Networks" by Matthew Wilson and James Bower.
-
- There is also a new book out that I haven't had a chance to plow through
- called "Olfaction: A Model for Computational Neuroscience" by
- Joel L. Davis and Howard Eichenbaum.
-
- The distributed nature of olfactory perception has forced its students
- to consider the behavior of large scale networks of neurons rather than
- the retinotopic or tonotopic approaches that had been fruitful for some
- time in the visual and auditory fields.
-
- Good luck!
