It’s Time to Remove the Pump Handle (Again)

Time and time again: The many ways to represent time

One of the most crucial problems in any computer system that involves representing the world is the representation of time. This includes applications such as databases, simulation, expert systems and applications of Artificial Intelligence in general. In this brief paper, I will give a survey of the basic techniques available for representing time, and then talk about temporal reasoning in a g...

Time and Again

Two reports in this issue of Neuron, Hsieh et al. (2014) and Ezzyat and Davachi (2014), describe fMRI activity patterns in the human hippocampus that correlate with memory for temporal context. Analogous activity of neural ensembles recorded from the rodent hippocampus suggests a general model for remembering episodes.
