A neural mechanism for online discovery of latent contexts

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Experience unfolds as a stream shaped by hidden causes that change over time. Adaptive behavior requires inferring the underlying states and adjusting when they change. Yet, how neural circuits discover and track latent states remains unclear. Here we introduce NeuraGEM, a neural architecture that combines fast transient activity with slow synaptic plasticity to implement an online analogue of Expectation–Maximiza...
