Our concept of the neural mechanisms of working memory has recently undergone an upheaval, because of two transformative concepts: multivariate neural state trajectories and the activity-silent hypothesis. I will argue that putting these concepts together raises the difficult problem of “quiet trajectories,” where future neural activity is not fully determined by current activity. However, this also promises new building blocks for neural computation.
