Timescales of Neural and Mental Context

Abstract: From second to second, we experience the moments of our lives as connected: hearing a fragment of sound, we perceive it as part of a mockingbird’s melody; reading one word, we understand it as part of a meaningful sentence; and reading an entire sentence, we understand it as part of a larger argument. This talk concerns how recent information persists and combines in our minds and brains, on the scale of several minutes.
