== myModule ==
* [http://robotcub.svn.sf.net/viewvc/robotcub/trunk/iCub/main/src/examples/demoModule/ demoModule]
A simple example to illustrate a module that is compliant with iCub Software Standards, addressing:
* http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/The_myModule_Example (referred to at the bottom of the [http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Summary_of_iCub_Software_Development_Guidelines Summary of iCub Software Development Guidelines])
* configuration
* graceful shut-down
* thread-based execution
* run-time user interaction
*  documentation and coding standards
 
Functionally, the module just converts an input image to a binary image based on a supplied threshold.

== Auto-Associative (Episodic) Memory ==
The Auto-Associative Memory (AAM) module, also known as Episodic Memory, effects the following functionality:
* when an image is presented to the memory, it attempts to recall that image;
* if a previously-stored image matches the presented image sufficiently well, the stored image is recalled;
* if no previously-stored image matches sufficiently well, the presented image is saved.
