Temporal patterns refer to recurring sequences or rhythms that occur over time. It signifies the regular and repeated occurrence of certain events or behaviors, creating a pattern or trend that can be observed and analyzed.

on temporal patterns.
Willie Soon the astrophysicist from Harvard has done some research where he finds a solar signature in climate patterns over the last century or two (nothing original there) but further, he finds a correlation

There are some features of symbolic transformation, moreover, that make the analogy an explicit framework for critical study: (1) symbolic transformation deals with contrasts between propositions; (2) it proceeds generally from the realization of the most abstract contrasts to the most particular; and (3) it expresses
a temporal pattern or form amenable to classification.
This approach assumes that narrative accounts form analogues to the composition of historical events and that the dynamics of narrative are expressed in events as symbolic transformations, emerging in
temporal patterns, and resulting in definite configurations that can be analyzed at several levels of abstraction.

the temporal patterns were.»
Varying the timing and strength of these inputs can produce either a rate or temporal neural code, effectively switching the «language» used by the brain for describing
the temporal patterns within a sound.
Dr. Bendor describes how a neuron's excitatory and inhibitory inputs can be used to encode
the temporal patterns within a sound.
