ABSTRACT
Recently, researchers have found time cells in the hippocampus that appear to contain information about the timing of past events. Some researchers have argued that time cells are taking a Laplace transform of their input in order to reconstruct the past stimulus. We argue that stimulus prediction, not stimulus reconstruction or redundancy reduction, is in better agreement with observed responses of time cells. In the process, we introduce new analyses of nonlinear, continuous-time reservoirs that model these time cells.
