Abstract
We present a neural network model for familiarity recognition of different types of images in the perirhinal cortex (the FaRe model). The model is designed as a two-stage system. At the first stage, the parameters of an image are extracted by a pretrained deep learning convolutional neural network. At the second stage, a two-layer feed forward neural network with anti-Hebbian learning is used to make the decision about the familiarity of the image. FaRe model simulations demonstrate high capacity of familiarity recognition memory for natural pictures and low capacity for both abstract images and random patterns. These findings are in agreement with psychological experiments.
