New preprint! We mapped out how ‘diffuse’ predictions affect neural representations. We show predictions reshape the geometric layout of the neural representations by compressing the representational spread and stabilize the neural code by reducing the neural variance during memory encoding.

We have to direct attention to both the outside world and our internal thoughts and memories. This process of attentional selection occurs rhythmically, with a shared theta rhythm associated with sampling internal and external information. Neat work by Cavanah & Fiebelkorn!

Exciting News! Our new review paper explores the impact of divided attention on episodic memory retrieval, a topic with mixed findings. Often, studies discuss the relationship between attention and retrieval as if each is a unitary phenomenon.
