Neural sampling from cognitive maps enables goal-directed imagination and planning
Nature Machine Intelligence, Published online: 21 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s42256-026-01254-4 Lin et al. introduce a brain-inspired generative model that provides two key features of intelligence: planning and problem-solving. It uses cognitive maps, stochastic computing and compositional coding, and requires only local synaptic plasticity.
