When does new learning interfere with existing knowledge in people and ANNs? Great to have this out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com Work with @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, @tsonj.bsky.social, Lukas Braun and Jan Grohn www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do we perceive static vs dynamic emotions differently? New research finds both shared and unique patterns in how stimulus properties, recognised emotion, and perceived intensity jointly shape how we see facial emotions. doi.org/10.1080/0269... @psplabatuea.bsky.social

🚨Checkout our new article! "Observer and stimulus factors jointly shape perceptual similarity of static and dynamic facial emotions" doi.org/10.1080/0269...

🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference? In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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...

I'm thrilled to share that our new paper is now published in Psychophysiology (Open Access): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @zacndr.bsky.social @teamlabuda.bsky.social @fraferri.bsky.social @danlikesbrains.bsky.social

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠 We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A while in the making, here's a short paper on how one might get from spatial to episodic memory with temporal indexing, sequence generation via grid cell analogs, + a bit of perspective/review on time, wider HPC function ... psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

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...

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.

We did it! 🏆 We won Phase 1 and placed 2nd overall in the Algonauts 2025 Challenge. So proud of the crew @keckjanis.bsky.social,Viktor Studenyak,Daniel Schad,Aleksandr Shpilevoi. Huge thanks to @andrejbicanski.bsky.social and @doellerlab.bsky.social for support. Report: arxiv.org/abs/2507.17958

We put out this preprint a couple months ago, but I really wanted to replicate our findings before we went to publication. At first, what we found was very confusing! But when we dug in, it revealed a fascinating neural strategy for how we switch between tasks doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.29.615736 🧵

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...

New preprint with amazing work from @nchalas.bsky.social: How does respiration influence (un-)predictable near-threshold perception? MEG, arousal modulation, excitability states, respiration phase-resolved connectivity changes - it's all there :) #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Amazing #RegisteredReport led by Sumaiyah Raza from @mrccbu.bsky.social. We (again) found evidence against a memory benefit of spatial novelty. However, this time we did find a retroactive benefit of rest, which highlights that more work is needed here. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Excited to share our latest work spearheaded by @anikaloewe.bsky.social & @maritpetzka.bsky.social. 20 min naps increased the chance to solve an insight task if sleep reached N2 stage; but the EEG spectral slope was the best predictor of insight dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... #compneuro #psychscisky

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 👇

Did you ever wanted to see a visualisation how two common brain 🧠 network parcellations (Yeo 7 vs. CAB NP) differ? Here is a small something I quickly cooked up because I was curious myself. #neurosky #neuro #brain #brainsky #neuroimaging Code: github.com/JAQuent/netw...

New preprint! We explored how learned movement patterns affect our sense of traveled distance and proposed a neurocomputational model that leverages embodied memories to denoise spatial codes. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

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/...

It is a great pleasure to share this new collaborative work on the Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory Representations with @fnim-lab.bsky.social @cvlneuro.bsky.social @psychologyuea.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

🧠✨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)

Excited to share a preprint from work with @rewaniw.bsky.social and Serra Favila, where we show that visual cortex responses during memory retrieval are spatially tuned to the locations of objects previously seen only once It's an early draft — feedback is welcome! See 🧵 for more #neuroskyence 1/7

Curious about spatial memory in 3D? Our new preprint explores how environmental boundaries and the way we move affect our memory for locations in volumetric space! Huge congrats to co-1st @theoschaefer.bsky.social w/ Leonard König, Misun Kim, Christian Doeller. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are short-term memories just noisier versions of what we perceive? Are they fundamentally different? We (Chaipat Chunharas, @mjwolff.bsky.social, @meikehettwer.bsky.social and myself) delved into this in a paper out now in #elife: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre.... For a quick summary, a 🧵 below:

🧠 Thrilled to share our latest study, now published in PLOS Biology! 🌟 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... In this work, conducted by me and Dr. Qing Yu at the Institute of Neuroscience, we uncovered how the brain encodes and implements abstract task information (such as goals) in working memory.

Aaaand the paper is out on Imaging Neuroscience! 🤩 To learn about cool new (and old) features to be used in classifying M-EEG brain states, check it out: doi.org/10.1162/imag... Big thanks to all the co-authors and the reviewers for their great input 🫶

New preprint out with @summerfieldlab.bsky.social! When does new learning interfere with existing knowledge? We compare continual learning in humans and artificial neural networks, revealing similar patterns of transfer & catastrophic interference (1/8) osf.io/preprints/ps...

New paper alert! Have you ever looked at single-trial fMRI activation maps? If so, you know that they are super variable. Here we show that the variability is not just noise. In fact, the same task can consistently elicit different activation patterns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very cool opinion paper by @ckerren.bsky.social and colleagues on the role of dimensionality transformation in episodic memory!

🚨 Finally out! My new @annualreviews.bsky.social in Psychology paper: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... We unpack why psych theories of generalization keep cycling from rigid rule-based models to flexible similarity-based ones, then culminating in Bayesian hybrids. Let's break it down 👉 🧵

Excited to share our new preprint on the effect of low-dimensional task similarities on representation learning in brains and neural networks!
