A temporary memory plays an important role in data processing. Biological systems are supposed to implement it in some way. We propose an oscillator network as its biological implementation. Oscillation is a commonly observed phenomenon in the biological systems. It can be considered that the biological systems realize the temporary memory through oscillations. In addition, the oscillator network which we propose can hold the memory effectively in comparison with a simple chain reaction. First, we describe the dynamics of oscillators and check if the oscillator network has the function of the temporary memory. A method to predict the memory holding time is then presented. Finally, we present the discussions and future studies with regard to the oscillator network.
