Working memory (WM) is a fundamental aspect of cognition. WM maintenance is classically
thought to rely on stable patterns of neural activities. However, recent evidence shows that …

Normative frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reward-based learning are useful
tools for explaining the fundamental principles of adaptive behavior. However, their ability to …

During delayed ballistic reaches, motor areas consistently display movement-specific activity
patterns prior to movement onset. It is unclear why these patterns arise: while they have …

Humans can flexibly change rules to categorize sensory stimuli, but their performance
degrades immediately after a task switch. This switch cost is believed to reflect a limitation in …

Animal brains are composed of large numbers of neurons, whose time-varying activity is
shaped by their recurrent connections.% neurons are connected. Recent advances in …
