Reply to Aksentijevic: It is a matter of what is countable and how neurons learn (original) (raw)

A response to Aksentijevic addressing misunderstandings regarding the nature of random sequences, distinguishing between statistics of individual patterns versus higher order patterns. The authors clarify that while higher order patterns can exist, the learning model they propose shows how such structures can emerge without requiring prior knowledge, driven by temporal information integration. Empirical evidence supports their mathematical insights, highlighting a promising direction for the study of cognitive processes.
