  Well, Janet Metcalfe has been exploring a model she calls CHARM, which
stores associations as the convolutions of the two inputs.  I think that's
how a hologram works, if I remember correctly.  Unfortunately, I can't
quote any references.

  Also, Kohonen's book "Self Organization and Associative Memory" contains 
a pretty extensive discussion of the relationship between neural networks
and holography.
