State Space Models Mimic Brain Activity and Scale to Cognitive Functions

Researchers have proposed that State Space Models (SSMs) can naturally generate neural behaviors observed in the brain, such as time cells, oscillatory activity, and ramping activity. These behaviors emerge from a structured multi-timescale rotational basis within the SSMs, which aids in history compression and temporal dynamics. The study suggests that learning adapts to this pre-existing temporal basis, and the models can scale to complex cognitive functions like event counting, offering a computationally tractable framework for understanding neural activity.
