Serial dependence reflects how recent sensory history shapes current perception, producing two opposing biases: repulsion, where perception is repelled from recent stimuli, and attraction, where perception is drawn toward them. Repulsion typically occurs at the sensory perception stage, while attrac…
Sequence schemas are abstract, reusable knowledge structures that facilitate rapid adaptation and generalization in novel sequential tasks. In both animals and humans, shaping is an efficient way for acquiring such schemas, particularly in complex sequential tasks. As a form of curriculum learning,…
Temporal sequence processing is fundamental in brain cognitive functions. Experimental data has indicated that the representations of ordinal information and contents of temporal sequences are disentangled in the brain, but the neural mechanism underlying this disentanglement remains largely unclea…
Attractor networks require neuronal connections to be highly structured in order to maintain attractor states that represent information, while excitation and inhibition balanced networks (E-INNs) require neuronal connections to be random and sparse to generate irregular neuronal firings. Despite be…
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…
Experimental data has revealed that in addition to feedforward connections, there exist abundant feedback connections in a neural pathway. Although the importance of feedback in neural information processing has been widely recognized in the field, the detailed mechanism of how it works remains larg…
