Predicting the Future With a Scale-Invariant Temporal Memory for the Past.

In recent years, it has become clear that the brain maintains a temporal memory of recent events stretching far into the past. This letter presents a neurally inspired algorithm to use a scale-invariant temporal representation of the past to predict a scale-invariant future. The result is a scale-invariant estimate of future events as a function of the time at which they are expected to occur.
