📣 First paper from the lab! 🎉🧠 Led by brilliant MRes students Aysha and Zhiyun, we found exploring a novel, unpredictable VR environment retroactively enhanced memory in humans: rdcu.be/fc496

So excited to see this out today! Huge congrats to @oliviachristiano.bsky.social, who led this project.

Very excited to share our latest paper led by @nbinish.bsky.social in @natneuro.nature.com We demonstrate how a communication subspace channels higher-dimensional PFC dynamics into lower-D motor activity to enable efficient behavior using human iEEG. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

New paper out in J. Neuro! We used MEG and pattern classifiers to ask: if a memory is reactivated in the brain, does that mean you'll recall it? Short answer: no. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... Read on for the details! [1/7] #neuroscience #memory

Two postdoc opportunities @yale.edu in human neurophysiology. One position in my lab @wutsaiyale.bsky.social focusing on human cognitive neurophysiology. Details at helfrich-lab.com/news/ Plus a possible collab with anesthesiology 👇 #NeuroTwitter #NeuroJobs #neuroskyence #EEG Please share.

Misinterpreting Electrophysiology in Human Cognitive Neuroscience, by Tzvetan Popov 👇👀🧠 ... in psychophysiological experiments relying on vision, EEG components relate to cognition indirectly through their more direct relationship with oculomotor action... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Does aperiodic activity index neural excitability? Single-unit and LFP recordings during optogenetic interneuron suppression show that aperiodic activity scales with firing, but it depends on context and oscillatory power. New preprint with @juliaveit.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The Obleser lab will be hiring soon! New postdoc (fully funded) and new PhD or part-time postdoc position (soft-money funded). Spread the word. Start in Sept/Oct. Watch out for official announcements! Please be in touch. auditorycognition.com obleserlab.com hoerhanse.de lemmi.uni-luebeck.de

New paper (with lots of cute animal videos!) Ever watch your dog "run" while asleep and wonder what’s going on in their brain? In Current Bio we suggest that those twitches aren't just leaky dreams—they’re a vital maintenance system for the most precise movements www.cell.com/current-biol...

1/N: Dear colleagues, I would like to share a new paper on the subiculum, part of my PhD with the Neural Computation Group @andrejbicanski.bsky.social @mpicbs.bsky.social . We present “A theory of subicular function and generalized vector coding” that we call Disco. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 1/ Check out a new paper on perceptual and value-based mechanism of generalization by the amazing @luiantaverra.bsky.social ! A very very proud for moment for me - Lui is my first PhD student and this is her first paper ^^ Pls repost to spread the word :)

1/9 New paper with @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social and @lindedomingo.bsky.social : “Characterising semantic prioritisation in visual working memory.” Core question: when we hold visual info briefly in mind, what gets accessed first: perceptual details or semantic meaning?

📣 We are seeking a student research assistant to join us in investigating how spatial memory develops in children using video games and fMRI @markuswb.bsky.social @lipmpib.bsky.social www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/2285306/2026...

Registration open 🎉 MEEP – Heidelberg Summer School on Memory and Sleep www.zi-mannheim.de/forschung/ab...

Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv! @doellerlab.bsky.social We show that eye-movement sequences actively organize information by aligning with underlying structure and flexibly adapting to cognitive demands in working memory. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Briefly not attending something may help you remember it later 🪄: new paper led by phenomenal PhD student Frieda Born (not on Bsky) out now in Comms Psychology: 
www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Super thrilled to finally share the results of our team effort, from the lab of the one and only @ayab.bsky.social. Hopefully it will stir interesting discussions about how the brain balances continuity and segmentation

Job alert!! We're looking for a Postdoc and two RAs on a 3-year project examining the effects of smartphones on sleep and mental health in adolescents. Details below: RA: tinyurl.com/7h6zrz2k Postdoc: tinyurl.com/ykmsk757 Please repost :)

🧠 The Mind Meeting Series is back! Organized by us & Bicanski Lab, featuring leading scientists in cognitive and computational neuroscience. Our first speaker is @lukaskunz.bsky.social (University Hospital Bonn). 🗓 February 12 | 3:00 PM 📍 In person (Zoom available) We look forward to seeing you!

Ripple oscillations are central for memory and sleep. But ripple detection in humans remains challenging. Here we introduce a simulation approach in @natcomms.nature.com as common ripple detectors mainly pick up 1/f noise and not genuine oscillations 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Last week to apply! Cognitive Neuroscience Research Laboratory Manager at @oxexppsy.bsky.social (with links to @oxcin.bsky.social and @ox.ac.uk) www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPZ833/c...

How do we achieve few-shot generalization? New work led by @fabianrenz.bsky.social dives into the role of replay in learning and using structure to generalize reward. Dream team effort with Shany Grossman @nathanieldaw.bsky.social Peter Dayan & @doellerlab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How are memories consolidated during sleep? Excited to share another preprint: hippocampal SWRs route memory content to the cortex via interregional co-reactivation of concept cells, optimized by slow-oscillation–spindle coupling. With the great @tschreiner.bsky.social @humansingleneuron.bsky.social

Our new paper, now published in Cell Reports, asks how the brain adaptively shapes its representations according to the statistical structure of the environment to overcome the limits of working memory capacity. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Really thrilled that this paper led by @neurozz.bsky.social is now published in its final version in @elife.bsky.social!! This is a memory-focused (as opposed to RL-focused) account of the detailed characteristics of forward and backward awake and sleep replay! elifesciences.org/articles/99931

How does the brain replay memories during sleep? Excited to share our new preprint, the outcome of an extensive effort led by Johannes Niediek, showing that reactivation of human concept neurons reflects memory content rather than event sequence.

📣 We have a new PhD studentship (UK home students) at @fbmh-uom.bsky.social funded by @royalsociety.org. Interested in human memory, VR, and neuroimaging? This is the project for you 🧠 tinyurl.com/memoryVRPhD Application deadline January 31st!

Happy to share this early Christmas present 🎄: our paper about geometry- and locomotion-dependence of 3D memory got published in PNAS! Joint work with co-first-author Volker Reisner (@reisnerv.bsky.social) as well as Leonard König, Misun Kim & Christian Doeller www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. rdcu.be/eUPO8 funds @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence 🧵:

Our new paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com , asks a simple question: when two tasks share a common structure, does the brain learn them more efficiently? Surprisingly, this was not the case. Thread below (1/7) rdcu.be/eSwvU

It’s official! The postdoc positions announcement is here 🚀 If you know great candidates interested in attention, memory transformation and EEG, please help spread the word: Project (ReDAS) -> cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati... Job offer -> cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati...

I'm happy to share my debut as first-author with the recent publication of our article in #JNeurosci: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... Big thanks again to @tschreiner.bsky.social and the whole team who made this possible! 🧠🌬️

Asking informally: does anyone know someone who might be interested in a postdoc focused on understanding changes in memory representations driven by attention using EEG? ⚡️Thanks!

Please repost! Fully funded four-year PhD studentship opportunity on sleep deprivation and neurovascular dysfunction on the BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership, including annual stipend, research costs and home tuition fees tinyurl.com/ms7v2pcx

New work from the lab published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social by @jonasterlau.bsky.social and Jan Martini. We describe that trial-by-trial variability indexes recurrent connectivity across the cortical hierarchy, which supports reliable and flexible coding www.cell.com/neuron/abstr... (1/4)

🚨Preprint: Semantic Tuning of Single Neurons in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe 1/8: How do human neurons encode meaning? In this work, led by Katharina Karkowski, we recorded hundreds of human MTL neurons to study semantic coding in the human brain: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Here is a chance for international undergraduates to come to Hamburg and work with the amazing @elbersgerd.bsky.social

Really enjoyed working on this with Luise @graichenl.bsky.social Congrats! 🎉 Another piece of evidence highlighting how important visual space and the oculomotor system are for humans (and other primates). 👀🧠

✨My first first-author paper is out✨ Entorhinal grid-like codes for visual space during memory formation in @natcomms.nature.com ➡️ rdcu.be/eLRm2 Big thanks to everyone ‪@isabellacwagner.bsky.social‬, @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social, @olejensen.bsky.social, @doellerlab.bsky.social, @clauslamm.bsky.social

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

New preprint from the lab and great work by Fei Wang. We show how subiculum trace vector cells can be modeled consistent with known effects in CA1. Traces are driven by a mismatch learning rule to keep associative memories in line with experience. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In some way, it's trivial: The #brain & the rest of the #body (e.g. the #heart) are coupled. Yet, we spelled it out w/ A. Villringer & V. Nikulin for current scientists (below) w/ @martager.bsky.social @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social for future scientists bsky.app/profile/mart...

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫 I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Also on the way to #ICON2025 in beautiful Porto? Check the lab’s latest work: @xiongbowu.bsky.social: Talk in SY16, Tuesday 9.00, room Boavista; Aditya Chowdhury: Poster P1.11, Tuesday 10.45 @julia-sc.bsky.social: Poster P3.18, Wednesday 10.45 @tafgmcb.bsky.social: Poster 4.32, Wednesday 15.30

Happy to share our new preprint. We found that brain adaptively switches between relational and item-based coding strategies based on the structure of memory contents. @doellerlab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our new paper w/ @cibaker.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com linking active vision & memory! We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵1/9

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Paper AND preprint day. If you’re interested in motor control, incentives, and brain oscillations, we have new results to share. Together, they reveal how feedback and motivation shape behavior, and how brain rhythms help keep our force stable.

Some similarities matter, others don’t—a great Labatut book with a yellow cover means books by Labatut are good, not yellow books are good. Factorized representations support such selective generalization. Check out our study on select. gen. by Sam HallMcMaster in collab with @gershbrain.bsky.social
