As we get ready to start the final day of GEM 2025, here's a few snaps from yesterday's sessions.

Very proud to have presented our work on modeling cognitive maps and episodic memory at the GEM conference today! @for2812.bsky.social Check out our preprint to learn more about how you can bring together semantic and spatial information with our grid-cell-VSA model arxiv.org/abs/2503.08608

GEM 2025 got off to a great start yesterday.

New paper about processing of episodic prediction errors out from our lab. Nina will also present this research at next week's GEM, organised by @for2812.bsky.social

The program for GEM 2025 is now available as a pdf. for2812.rub.de/upload/edito...

You get to keep one memory from your personal past. This is the provocative premise from which Chris McCarroll (National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University) begins his post at The Memory Palace today. A great read! #philsky #philscisky

Registration for GEM 2025 closes soon (30.04.25). Don't forget to register at www.conftool.net/gem2025 and to check out our program at www.conftool.net/gem2025/sess... While you are in Bochum you can check out some of the city's street art. @ruhr-uni-bochum.de #gem2025 #episodicmemory

Registration for GEM 2025 closes on 30.04.25. Bochum has a reputation for being grey and dull (due to the coal and steel industry), but in fact it is far from it. Currently the cherry blossoms are in bloom and by June greenery will abound. Photo credits: @sencheng.bsky.social

The GEM 2025 program is out and there are a few days left to register. Join us in Bochum from 2nd to 4th June for an excellent line up of talks on episodic memory. www.conftool.net/gem2025/sess... Registration deadline: 30.04.2025 (sharing with you some lovely photographs of Bochum)

Just a few more days left to submit your abstracts. #computationalneuroscience #memory #modelling #STEM

Application deadline is 7 April 2025 👇 - Thanks for reposting -

We are delighted to announce that registration for GEM 2025 is now open! Head over to for2812.rub.de/gem2025 to check out the program. Limited spots available at our early career researcher events, so sign up early. #gem2025 #neuroscience #episodicmemory

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly. www.online-tribute.com/EleanorMaguire

It's finally 2025 and it is going to be a busy year for the FOR 2812. Don't forget we are accepting abstracts for GEM 2025. You can submit talks, posters or a symposium. Further information can be found on our website for2812.rub.de/gem2025.

Hello bsky! First post here and for 2025 - new paper alert! Prediction error and episodic memory with EEG correlates. Bottom line: No straightforward memory benefits for events with PE. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy Holidays! May your memories be merry and bright! The FOR 2812 office is closed until Jan. 2nd 2025 when it will reopen with limited hours until Jan. 6th.
