| contents | Understanding the mechanisms of neural encoding and decoding has always been a highly interesting research topic in fields such as neuroscience and cognitive intelligence. In prior studies, some researchers identified a symmetry in neural data decoded by unsupervised methods in motor scenarios and constructed a cognitive learning system based on this pattern (i.e., symmetry). Nevertheless, the distribution state of the data flow that significantly influences neural decoding positions still remains a mystery within the system, which further restricts the enhancement of the system's interpretability. Based on this, this paper mainly explores changes in the distribution state within the system from the machine learning and mathematical statistics perspectives. In the experiment, we assessed the correctness of this symmetry using various tools and indicators commonly utilized in mathematics and statistics. According to the experimental results, the normal distribution (or Gaussian distribution) plays a crucial role in the decoding of prediction positions within the system. Eventually, an algorithm board similar to the Galton board was built to serve as the mathematical foundation of the discovered symmetry. |
