Abstract
A phenomenological model is developed where complex dynamics are the correlate of spatio-temporal memories. If resting is not a classical fixed point attractor but a Milnor attractor, multiple oscillations appear in the dynamics of a coupled system. This model can be helpful for describing brain activity in terms of well classified dynamics and for implementing human-like real-time computation.
