A new BAM model is presented that uses a chaotic output function operating in chaotic mode during recall. Our results show that the model develops well-defined attractor basins, with the result that our chaotic BAM is more tolerant to noise than a regular fixed point BAM. This is concluded from simulations that showed the superior performance of the new model when compared to the original BAM a...
