TST (Temporal Sequence Processing Theory)

Temporal Sequence Processing Theory (TST) suggests that our brain understands and predicts the order of events by analyzing the timing and sequence of stimuli. It posits that neural mechanisms encode the timing patterns of sensory inputs, enabling us to recognize sequences and anticipate future occurrences. This process is fundamental for functions like language, movement, and learning, where the precise timing of information is crucial. In essence, TST describes how the brain processes the "when" and "what" of events to make sense of complex, dynamic environments.
