From Representation to Action: A Unified Laplacian Framework for Spatial Representation and Path Planning

ICML 2026poster

Navigation in complex environments relies on internal spatial representations that guide action. While the brain employs a diverse repertoire of spatial tuning cells—including grid, place, and head-direction cells—a normative theory linking these static neural codes to the dynamic process of navigat…

The motion planning neural circuit in goal-directed navigation as Lie group operator search

NeurIPS 2024poster

The information processing in the brain and embodied agents form a sensory-action loop to interact with the world. An important step in the loop is motion planning which selects motor actions based on the current world state and task need. In goal-directed navigation, the brain chooses and generates…

A Recurrent Neural Circuit Mechanism of Temporal-scaling Equivariant Representation

NeurIPS 2023poster

Time perception is critical in our daily life. An important feature of time perception is temporal scaling (TS): the ability to generate temporal sequences (e.g., motor actions) at different speeds. However, it is largely unknown about the math principle underlying temporal scaling in recurrent circ…

Oscillatory Tracking of Continuous Attractor Neural Networks Account for Phase Precession and Procession of Hippocampal Place Cells

NeurIPS 2022accept

Hippocampal place cells of freely moving rodents display an intriguing temporal organization in their responses known as `theta phase precession', in which individual neurons fire at progressively earlier phases in successive theta cycles as the animal traverses the place fields. Recent experimental…
