summaryIn everyday life, observations often unfold across time, forming sequences that exhibit different forms of structure. The human brain is attuned to a variety of such structures and leverage this knowledge of sequences to anticipate what is coming next. We have proposed a taxonomy of sequence knowledge, ranging from the detection of specific transition probabilities in a sequence, to the presence of chunks and to nested structures organized in a language of though. I will present a computational analysis (based on probabilistic inference) and empirical evidence (with reaction times, explicit reports, electrophysiological responses) that support this proposal.
