Hopfield Network

Hopfield associative memory with live noise, presets, animated recall, and energy plot.

About this tool

Hopfield net — binary ±1 neurons with symmetric Hebbian weights store patterns as attractors. Starting from a seeded noisy cue, asynchronous updates decrease the Lyapunov energy until a local minimum (ideally the stored pattern). The complement is equally stable; spurious minima from storing several patterns are outside this single-pattern 8×8 demo.
