Learning-to-learn, a progressive speedup of learning while solving a series of similar problems, represents a core process of knowledge acquisition that draws attention in both neuroscience and artificial intelligence. To investigate its underlying b...
Humans can learn several tasks in succession with minimal mutual interference but perform more poorly when trained on multiple tasks at once. The opposite is true for standard deep neural networks. Here, we propose novel computational constraints for...
Sequential behavior unfolds both in space and in time. The same spatial trajectory can be realized in different manners in the same overall time by changing instantaneous speeds. The current research investigates how speed profiles might be given beh...

Real-world tasks require coordination of working memory, decision-making, and planning, yet these cognitive functions have disproportionately been studied as independent modular processes in the brain. Here, we propose that contingency representation...

BACKGROUND: Previous behavioral studies have found that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show greater interest in humanoid robots than in humans. However, the neural mechanism underlying this is not clear. This study compared brain activa...

Adolescent development is characterized by an improvement in multiple cognitive processes. While performance on cognitive operations improves during this period, the ability to learn new skills quickly, for example, a new language, decreases. During ...
How do neural populations code for multiple, potentially conflicting tasks? Here we used computational simulations involving neural networks to define "lazy" and "rich" coding solutions to this context-dependent decision-making problem, which trade o...
Sensorimotor adaptation involves the recalibration of the mapping between motor command and sensory feedback in response to movement errors. Although adaptation operates within individual movements on a trial-to-trial basis, it can also undergo learn...
A prominent cognitive aspect of anxiety is dysregulation of emotional interpretation of facial expressions, associated with neural activity from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. We report machine learning analysis of fMRI results supporting a key ...
In the prefrontal cortex (PFC), higher-order cognitive functions and adaptive flexible behaviors rely on continuous dynamical sequences of spiking activity that constitute neural trajectories in the state space of activity. Neural trajectories subser...
