Flexibility of intrinsic neural timescales during distinct behavioral states
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent neuroimaging studies demonstrate a heterogeneity of timescales prevalent in the brain's ongoing spontaneous activity, labeled intrinsic neural timescales (INT). At the same time, neural timescales also reflect stimulus- or task-related activity. The relationship of the INT during the brain's spontaneous activity with their involvement in task states including behavior remains unclear. To address this question, we combined calcium imaging data of spontaneously behaving mice and human electroencephalography (EEG) during rest and task states with computational modeling. We obtained four primary findings: (i) the distinct behavioral states can be accurately predicted from INT, (ii) INT become longer during behavioral states compared to rest, (iii) INT change from rest to task is correlated negatively with the variability of INT during rest, (iv) neural mass modeling shows a key role of recurrent connections in mediating the rest-task change of INT. Extending current findings, our results show the dynamic nature of the brain's INT in reflecting continuous behavior through their flexible rest-task modulation possibly mediated by recurrent connections.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
