Abstract
The brain uses several different types of mechanisms to control the temporal organization of behavior. This chapter summarizes biological neural networks which model two types of temporal control. The first model is the VITEWRITE model of handwriting production (Bullock, Grossberg, and Mannes, 1993). The second model is the STORE model for encoding sequences of events in working memory (Bradski, Carpenter, and Grossberg, 1992). Both models have arisen from a computational analysis of relevant behavioral and neural data bases. In both models, the temporal properties of the behavior are not explicitly represented in the network, but instead are emergent properties of multicellular interactions. This fact raises the issue of what organizational principles enable the networks to generate goal-oriented temporal relationships despite the fact that these relationships are not explicitly represented in the model mechanisms.
