@garry.morrison Sorry it took so long, I missed your comment.

The only way to “close” a sequence in the TM at this point is to do so programmatically. In biology, I believe these signals come from outside the TM (but I’m not sure, something I’m going to [talk with Jeff about next week](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/any-questions-for-jeff/1965).

In NuPIC, you do this by calling [`reset()`](http://numenta.github.io/nupic/temporal-memory.html#nupic.research.temporal_memory.TemporalMemory.reset).
