HippocampusManager Class

Summary

Manages the long-term memory encoding and recall of a NeuralNetwork using [HippocampalMemory]-decorated properties. This system emulates hippocampal consolidation by serializing and restoring neural states and configurations to disk.

---

Namespace

BioSynapStudio.Net.Modules.Plasiticity

Assembly

BioSynapStudio.Net.dll

---

Constructor

public HippocampusManager(NeuralNetwork network)

Initializes the hippocampal memory manager for the specified NeuralNetwork.

---

Public Methods

void RegisterMemorySection(string tag, Action<BinaryWriter> saveCallback, Action<BinaryReader> loadCallback)

Registers custom memory sections to be serialized alongside standard properties. Useful for plugins or extended modules.

void SaveMemory()

Serializes and stores all [HippocampalMemory] fields of the associated neural network and tagged sections to a .bsm file.

void LoadMemory()

Deserializes the stored memory and restores the [HippocampalMemory]-tagged fields and tagged sections into the active network.

---

Internal Logic

• Serialization markers are used to distinguish value types:

  • 1 = string
  • 2 = double
  • 3 = int
  • 4 = short
  • 5 = float
  • 6 = bool
  • 7 = Guid
  • 8 = List of complex objects with memory attributes
  • 9 = Single complex object

• The .bsm (BioSynapStudio Memory) file uses a header signature, versioning, and timestamp for integrity and future compatibility.

---

File Format

Stored in: %Documents%\Hippocampus\{NetworkName}.bsm

---

Example Usage

var hippocampus = new HippocampusManager(myNetwork);
hippocampus.SaveMemory();  // Save current brain state
hippocampus.LoadMemory();  // Restore prior brain state

---

Remarks

• Handles both simple and nested class serialization using the [HippocampalMemory] attribute.

• Future-proofed through:

  • Header signature & versioning
  • Dynamic property mapping
  • Optional tagged sections for custom modules
