There are rich structures in off-task neural activity. For example, task related neural codes are thought to be reactivated in a systematic way during rest. This reactivation is hypothesised to reflect a fundamental computation that supports a variety of cognitive functions. Here, we introduce an analysis toolkit (TDLM) for analysing this activity. TDLM combines nonlinear classification and linear temporal modelling to testing for statistical regularities in sequences of neural representations. It is developed using non-invasive neuroimaging data and is designed to take care of confounds and maximize sequence detection ability. The method can be extended to rodent electrophysiological recordings. We outline how TDLM can successfully reveal human replay during rest, based upon non-invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements, with strong parallels to rodent hippocampal replay. TDLM can therefore advance our understanding of sequential computation and promote a richer convergence between animal and human neuroscience research.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
