Ranking and serial thinking: A geometric solution

2023-08-05

Abstract excerpt

A general mathematical description of the way the brain encodes ordinal knowledge of sequences is still lacking. Coherently with the well-established idea of mixed selectivity in high-dimensional state spaces, we conjectured the existence of a linear solution for serial learning tasks. In this theoretical framework, the neural representation of the items in a sequence are read out as ordered projections along a su...
