So happy to share our paper on the role of the hippocampus as a mismatch detector: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... We show that the hippocampus detects mismatches between ongoing experiences and episodic memories but not generalised schematic knowledge. See 🧵for how we got here: #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

New fMRI study shows the hippocampus signals mismatches only when our expectations are based on episodic memories — not general knowledge. Challenges theories of the hippocampus as a domain-general comparator. We also explore how brain networks respond to surprise: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

New CamCAN study led by @praykov.bsky.social used 11 different white matter (WM) measures to show that WM health is multidimensional: 4 latent MRI-derived factors explained 89% of WM variance, were predicted by vascular health, and predicted cognition: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We recently published a new paper investigating APOE effects in Cam-CAN @camcan-2010.bsky.social movie dataset. Examining various measures we failed to find any APOE effects in healthy individuals. You can read more about it in the paper doi.org/10.1177/2398... or the thread below

Join us for another two weeks of Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge, #COGNESTIC, 16-27 September, 2024. We provide training in state-of-the-art methods for open neuroimaging analysis, focussing on MRI, fMRI and EEG/MEG. www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/cogne...

Very excited that @akulsatish.bsky.social's MEG paper on spatial representations and theta/alpha is officially published in Hippocampus! Theta and alpha oscillations in human hippocampus and medial parietal cortex support the formation of location-based representations #neuroskyence #psychscisky

I'm elated to share my PhD keystone paper published @PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... I've poured my heart & soul into this project since 2016 (8 yrs!) & I'm happy to introduce the Effort Foraging Task to the world #CognitivePsychology #Motivation #Effort #Foraging #DecisionMaking 🧵

PhD funding alert! A second round of up to 4 School of UK + International Psychology studentships at Sussex this year - deadline 15th Feb. Application FAQ: t.ly/ZLoEJ - contact potential supervisor/s first to check fit! For my lab, episodic memory + ageing #neuroskyence #cognition #psychscisky

Check out our new paper showing that functional system segregation in fMRI predicts fluid intelligence, but does not meditate the benefits midlife activities have on late life intelligence doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Now out in Cognitive Science! We use GPT-2 to show that Bayesian surprise, which tracks changes in the content and confidence of predictions, accounts for human event boundaries in a narrative better than surprisal, which only tracks the predicted probability of individual words tinyurl.com/kd9dpub8
