    If you are interested in investigating the neural meme paradigm, you might
    look into these sites. The agent based modeling work creates a simple
    'neural meme' simulation via individual agent memories, change memory
    procedures and population dynamics analysis. I have not found of these
    researchers using the term 'meme,' but their work fits what I've been
    describing.

    Check them out. I'd be happy to discuss their models fit the neural meme
    scheme.
