Hidden Markov Models
Speaking of HMMs, really enjoyed this paper on dynamics underlying resting state and other conditions. The idea of a baseline state from which excursions lead to more integrated states is really interesting.

In this article, Holton et al. show that both humans and artificial neural networks have similar patterns of transfer and interference during sequential learning.
Humans and neural networks show similar patterns of transfer and interference during continual learning - Nature Human Behaviour
When learning new tasks, both humans and artificial neural networks face a trade-off between reusing prior knowledge to learn faster and avoiding the disruption of earlier learning. This study shows that people and artificial neural networks have similar patterns of transfer and interference and vary in how they balance this trade-off.
