Very excited to have this officially published: A neural state space for episodic memories A brief thread... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #cognition 🧪 @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social

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

Can’t wait to welcome the memory community here! Save the date, sign up for the newsletter, and see you in Glasgow for ICOM7!

Super excited to share this preprint! How do we disentangle underlying structure from the particular features of a learning episode to benefit future learning? We find that memory reactivation during sleep promotes this structure abstraction process. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📣 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

The Memory Disorders Research Society (MDRS) is seeking nominations for new members. Self-nominations are welcome! The society is broadly focused on memory research; not just disorders. Here is the nomination form, which includes info about eligibility criteria: forms.gle/Qn7mchoPpaqL...

🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation 1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep. doi.org/10.64898/202...

🔥 New preprint! Excited to share Johannah's fantastic work -> a preregistered study with two replications showing how uncertainty shapes perceptual insight. As always, it’s been a great ride working with Johannah and Carlos.

I am excited to share my first paper, showing that episodic memory formation is theta rhythmic, is now published in Nature Human Behavior! Check it out here: rdcu.be/e6pzS. Thanks to my PI, Katherine Duncan, and to my collaborators for their support on this journey! Stay tuned for iEEG follow up 🧠

Excited to share a new paper spearheaded by the wonderful @baror-shira.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/bd8xdcum @erc.europa.eu @nathumbehav.nature.com We test the link between serial dependence (as an index of continuity) and event boundaries (indexing segmentation). A few key findings in the thread:

Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?

Is optimism socially transmissible? Our new study shows it propagates via social prediction errors. When we "imagine together," simulation discrepancies drive an update in expectations to align with the group. A dynamic resource shaped by social interaction. Link study: osf.io/preprints/ps...

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

👇 #SleepPeeps Please repost to help me spread the word on this study. This is a very big commitment compared to most "online" studies... but I know there are some good participants out there on the interweb who what to help! 🙂👇

Excited to share our new publication on the influence of odor perception on memory. Congratulations to @joantarridav.bsky.social for initiating this fascinating line of research in our lab.

🚨 New preprint alert! Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory. Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory. 👇 Highlights (1/7):

Are the brain's representational formats predetermined by its intrinsic architecture, or are they efficiently tuned to the statistical structure of the visual world? In our new study, we test these possibilities. So proud of this fantastic and inspiring work, led by @jazzmaniatico.bsky.social.

What an event boundary! Thank you @martamasilva.bsky.social for leading this project!

🚨 NEW postdoc position 🚨 Join our Royal Society-funded team (3+ years) to work on human memory and salience 🧠 with virtual reality, fMRI, computational modelling and clinical collaborations 👉 www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... Please spread the word! 📣

preprint alert 🚨 1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇

For anyone in the memory field, an incredible summary and tribute to Endel Tulving from Gus Craik. Read it for the writing alone. royalsocietypublishing.org/action/oidcS...

New preprint! 🚨→ Determinants of Visual Ambiguity Resolution. A new work with @ortiztudela.bsky.social @jvoeller.bsky.social @martinhebart.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social We created ~2k images and collected ~100k responses to study visual ambiguity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper out! 🎉 “Evolving Engrams Demand Changes in Effective Cues” (Hippocampus). In this opinion piece, we discuss how retrieval processes can be enhanced and offer an alternative to one of the field’s few enduring principles: encoding specificity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

1/2 Just like social groups, human memory is organized in interconnected patterns. Activating one memory can trigger related ones, similar to how information spreads through a community. Could social sharing shape how memories are formed? #PsychSciSky

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Deep learning models and brains share fascinating parallels in their ability to process and instantly integrate new knowledge. Join us this year at ICON 2025 to discuss how sudden learning emerges across artificial and biological systems! 🧠🤖

Very excited to share that this paper from my time in the Kahana lab is finally out in @natureneuro.bsky.social! bsky.app/profile/natu...

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

@diamondn.bsky.social et al. find that sleep enhances memory for the order of events from an art tour, but not the details of the events. The sleep-related advantage for sequences persists for over a year. @brianlevine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

New manuscript published! ✍️👀 Concept neurons evolve from index neurons through overlapping memories. Check it out here: www.cell.com/trends/cogni... 1/15

This has been a really fun project which I am very proud of. I would like to thank the reviewers who significantly improved the paper and made the narrative more compelling. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share our preprint "Fast-timescale hippocampal processes bridge between slowly unfurling neocortical states during memory search" 🧠✨ We leverage iEEG to elucidate the fast neural mechanisms by which long multimodal narratives are unfurled in continuous memory-search tinyurl.com/wjkr3dvf

📢 New preprint from the lab: We are very excited to report the discovery of an oscillation in the Central Thalamus using rare direct recordings of human thalamic electrophysiology. The novel oscillation is tightly coupled to specific, natural states of consciousness.🧵

After years of work designing and running this study with a multi-University team, we have our first preprint 🎉🎉 showing how a memorization technique builds neural representations through conjunctive representations! See thread and preprint link ⬇️
