The paper reviews our recent research on the dynamics of a complex phase-conjugate neural network model with a Hopfield-like energy function. The model is shown to have a close analogy to optical fields generated in a phase-conjugate resonator. A physical interpretation is given to the model and its dynamics. The results of experiments and computer simulations are presented that demonstrate the behaviors of the complex neural fields predicted by the theory.
