Procrastination represents one of the most prevalent behavioral problems associated with individual health and societal productivity. Despite its high prevalence and substantial impact on daily functioning, its underlying neurocognitive…
We study the \emph{in-context learning} (ICL) ability of a \emph{Linear Transformer Block} (LTB) that combines a linear attention component and a linear multi-layer perceptron (MLP) component. For ICL of linear regression with a Gaussian…
In deductive domains, three metacognitive knowledge types in ascending order are declarative, procedural, and conditional learning. This work leverages Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) in providing adaptive metacognitive interventions to…
Predicting and understanding the changes in cognitive performance, especially after a longitudinal intervention, is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. Longitudinal brain stimulation-based interventions like transcranial direct current…
Despite the widespread adoption of Backpropagation algorithm-based Deep Neural Networks, the biological infeasibility of the BP algorithm could potentially limit the evolution of new DNN models. To find a biologically plausible algorithm to…
People deploy top-down, goal-directed attention to accomplish tasks, such as finding lost keys. By tuning the visual system to relevant information sources, object recognition can become more efficient (a benefit) and more biased toward the…
This paper quantifies and addresses the bias of subspace-based Data-Driven Predictive Control (DDPC) for linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems. The primary focus is the bias that arises when the training data is gathered with a feedback…

Previous work has shown that neural encoder-decoder speech recognition can be improved with hierarchical multitask learning, where auxiliary tasks are added at intermediate layers of a deep encoder. We explore the effect of hierarchical…
Brain oscillations exhibit long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs), which reflect the regularity of their fluctuations: low values representing more random (decorrelated) while high values more persistent (correlated) dynamics. LRTCs…
