Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological
systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviors for evolutionary viability. The concept of …

Replay in the brain has been viewed as rehearsal or, more recently, as sampling from a
transition model. Here, we propose a new hypothesis: that replay is able to implement a form …

In human neuroscience, studies of cognition are rarely grounded in non-task-
evoked,'spontaneous' neural activity. Indeed, studies of spontaneous activity tend to focus …

Although we perceive the world in a continuous manner, our experience is partitioned into
discrete events. However, to make sense of these events, they must be stitched together into …

How do new ideas come about? The central hypothesis presented here states that insights
might happen during mental navigation and correspond to rapid plasticity at the cellular …

It has been suggested that the brain employs probabilistic generative models to optimally
interpret sensory information. This hypothesis has been formalised in distinct frameworks …

Human agents build models of their environment, which enable them to anticipate and plan
upcoming events. However, little is known about the properties of such predictive models …

Learning representations that generalize to novel compositions of known concepts is crucial
for bridging the gap between human and machine perception. One prominent effort is …

The consolidation of discrete experiences into a coherent narrative shapes the cognitive
map, providing structured mental representations of our experiences. In this process, past …

Replay can consolidate memories through offline neural reactivation related to past
experiences. Category knowledge is learned across multiple experiences, and its …
