In our new paper we use 2 fMRI studies to put SLIMM to the test. We find the U-shape function of memory and expectancy, yet no differential hippocampal involvement at the different ends of the expectancy spectrum - highlighting the need to revisit SLIMM. doi.org/10.1098/rstb...

Excited to share my first #preprint with @matthiasnau.bsky.social on how gaze behavior shapes brain activity during eyes-closed rest and sleep! Gaze-dependent activity was widespread even during sleep, including in many visual cortices, and altered brain-wide functional connectivity! 🧵 1/8

Our take on what do we remember after sudden perceptual resolution is now published as part of a wonderful theme issue on the role of hippocampal predictions put together by @mariamaly.bsky.social, @peterkok.bsky.social and @barense.bsky.social. Go check out the full list of papers!

We're finally getting the tools to study replay in humans. But why bother? What can we learn from it that we don't know from rodent recordings? Our thoughts are now out in a new TICS Forum Great fun writing this w @smfleming.bsky.social + @maritpetzka.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

📣 Thrilled to share our recent work in @natneuro.nature.com. Using direct recordings from the human hippocampus and visual cortex, we asked how the brain prepares to encode information when upcoming events are unpredictable, and what ripples do in that process. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 New #INMINDS interview with @trisbek.bsky.social (U of Cambridge) on neurophenomenology, altered states, and the use of the ‘Temporal Experience Tracing’ technique within and beyond the lab. Out in @cienciacog.bsky.social. English version: www.cienciacognitiva.org?p=2665 (1/2)

Cortical gamma oscillations riding on top hippocampal ripples help “tune” how the cortex responds later. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

Do we perceive animacy itself, beyond its lower-level visual correlates? In @elife.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social and I leverage “visual anagrams” — images whose interpretations change with orientation — to suggest the answer is: yes! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

How does an intense event change what we remember about the rest of our day? ​Our recent study (N=285) challenges the idea of a uniform emotional memory boost. We found that individuals split into two distinct modes of organizing threat-relevant information.🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.3...

🧵 How does the human brain turn experiences into memories? During my four years of PhD at Oxford, I investigated this question through a collaboration between Oxford, Toulouse, and Paris, recording directly from the human brain during a relational memory task.

Are gist-like shifts in memory over time evidence of engram transformation? Really? Or partly a general response bias? At #APS2026 in Barcelona this week, Mattia Delmarco will present our work on object typicality and visual memory. psychologicalscience.confex.com/psychologica...

📢 New paper out in @nathumbehav.nature.com: we identify a previously undescribed fast thalamic oscillation (~19–45 Hz) in rare intracranial human recordings that appears specifically during wakefulness and REM sleep — but disappears during NREM sleep. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are happy to share our research, recently published in Nature Communication! Using a naturalistic memory task, we show that life events are represented in the brain in different formats, highlighting the flexibility of the memory system. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now out in Nature Neuroscience: "Fixation duration on natural scenes is explained by memory encoding not processing demand". www.nature.com/articles/s41... Our eyes don't linger because recognition is hard; they linger to remember. Let me take you on a quick tour. 🧵

New paper with @paulm-k.bsky.social and Mark Stokes on how we switch internal attention between working memory contents. Beta-band oscillations tracked the magnitude and success of these switches. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... #neuroskyence

Does the brain perform inference under pressure? Our fMRI study led by Kai Schueren shows acute stress impairs our ability to link memories of past events with new information.🔗 The work is out now in www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... and also covered in www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🔔 Preprint: “Hippocampal ripples evoke a stereotyped cortical response followed by spindle-mediated network synchronization.” Combining iEEG+scalp EEG during sleep, we show that hippocampal ripples leave a decodable cortical fingerprint and are followed by brain-wide spindle synchronization!

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

We’ve got an exciting new thing to share! We have causal evidence (using TMR) that memory reactivation during sleep promotes abstract understanding of underlying structure, allowing transfer learning in a new domain with zero superficial feature overlap with the learned one.

📣 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

Can we really measure replay in humans using MEG with current methods? In our most recent paper we simulated replay under realistic conditions via a novel hybrid approach with astonishing results. we're delighted that it has now been published @elife.bsky.social! elifesciences.org/articles/108...

Nice review by @rhens.bsky.social of the >300 papers using CamCAN data to study the cognitive neuroscience of aging rdcu.be/e73yS - thanks to the authors of all those papers!

How does the brain build a memory? A common assumption is that the neurons activated during an experience collectively form the memory engram. In our new Nature Neuroscience paper (finally out!), we show that this is not the case. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one? In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵

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 🧠

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?

New preprint 🚨 Across multiple tasks, we show that higher-level info is more readily accessible in WM before evidence accumulation begins. Attention then boosts perceptual detail. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A lot of fun with my colleagues @ckerren.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social
