Come work with us! @princetonneuro.bsky.social and the Department of Psychology at Princeton University are searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of human cognitive neuroscience, to be hired jointly in Psychology and Neuroscience: puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...

New paper led by @codydong.bsky.social now out in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, exploring the relationship between memory-augmented LLMs and human episodic memory – see Cody’s post below for a short thread and a non-paywalled paper link! #NeuroAI doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

New paper led by @jayneuro.bsky.social: Repetition of musical themes in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind reactivates memories of earlier scenes, and this neural reactivation correlates with subsequent memory for those scenes! Check out Jamal's thread below 👇

Thrilled that this collaborative project with the @maureenritchey.bsky.social lab, co-led by @gushennings.bsky.social and Paula Brooks, is out in preprint form!

@qlu.bsky.social is starting his lab at City U of Hong Kong! This is a truly amazing opportunity for trainees interested in computational cognitive neuroscience and neuroAI

Thank you to Ingrid Wickelgren and the team at Quanta for putting together this great piece, describing work by my lab and others on the neural representations of events

Our paper on how neural codes track prior events in a narrative and predict subsequent memory for details, led by @collinsilvy.bsky.social, is now out in Communications Psychology! rdcu.be/d93Vc #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Excited to share our preprint "Fast-timescale hippocampal processes bridge between slowly unfurling neocortical states during memory search" 🧠✨ We leverage iEEG to elucidate the fast neural mechanisms by which long multimodal narratives are unfurled in continuous memory-search tinyurl.com/wjkr3dvf

Training in the Method of Loci promotes the development of widespread conjunctive representations in neocortex that bind items and loci -- very excited to be part of this project led by @huangjiawen.bsky.social and @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social

So happy that our paper on event segmentation in large language models is now out in Behavior Research Methods! tinyurl.com/2j76882b With @mtoneva.bsky.social, @ptoncompmemlab.bsky.social, and Manoj Kumar, we show that LLMs can segment narrative text into meaningful events similarly to humans.

Thrilled that this epic study led by @coralineiordan.bsky.social is now out in PNAS!

Excited to share a new preprint with Elizabeth McDevitt, Ghootae Kim, and Nick Turk-Browne investigating the role of REM sleep in neural differentiation of memories in the hippocampus! URL: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.01.621588v1 (1/9)

New paper led by Kailong Peng: Real-time fMRI neurofeedback that promotes coactivation of cortical representations drives integration in the hippocampus #neuroskyence #psychscisky royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Our neural network model of differentiation and integration of competing memories, developed by Victoria Ritvo and Alex Nguyen, has now been published in @elife.bsky.social: Paper: https://tinyurl.com/4b3k95rd Code: https://tinyurl.com/mr25rk9e #neuroskyence #psychscisky #neuroai (1/5)

New preprint from @qlu.bsky.social and Ali Hummos, showing how episodic memory supports the learning of structured task representations!

Our paper on how blocked training supports learning of multiple schemas, with Andre Beukers, @collinsilvy.bsky.social, Ross Kempner, Nick Franklin, and @gershbrain.bsky.social, is now out in Communications Psychology! rdcu.be/dEeaG #neuroskyence #psychscisky

🧠👁️ Our MindEye2 preprint is out! We reconstruct seen images from fMRI activity using only 1 hour of training data. This is possible by first pretraining a shared-subject model using other people's data, and then fine-tuning on a held-out subject with only 1 hr of data. arxiv.org/abs/2403.11207

Delighted to share this new work led by @collinsilvy.bsky.social, with Ross Kempner and Sunita Srivatasan ! #neuroskyence #psychscisky

I’m pleased to announce our preprint 😃 – Toward a More Biologically Plausible Neural Network Model of Latent Cause Inference. URL: arxiv.org/abs/2312.08519 (1/N)

Competing memories may be integrated or differentiated based on how much their representations co-activate. Using real-time fMRI neurofeedback, this study finds that high co-activation of memories in visual cortex leads to less memory discriminability in hippocampus. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

Now out in Psychological Review, with Andre Beukers, Maia Hamin, and Jon Cohen: our model of how episodic memory can support performance on the n-back task, "When working memory may just be working, not memory". Free version here: osf.io/preprints/ps... #psychscisky #neuroskyence

One more week to apply for our joint faculty position in Princeton Neuroscience Institute and Computer Science Dept, in neuroAI and intelligent systems, broadly construed. Do you fit? Yes. But feel free to contact me with q's. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...

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

Our MindEye fMRI-to-Image paper got accepted as spotlight for #NeurIPS2023! See you in New Orleans, will be my first time attending NeurIPS :) Updated camera ready paper is also now live on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2305.182... Includes new expts, appendix figures, more references to other work 🧠📈

Thanks to @ankosov.bsky.social for an excellent post for @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social about our paper with @mariamaly.bsky.social, Sam Feng, @ptoncompmemlab.bsky.social, and Jon Cohen! "Why do you sometimes see what you expect to see? The answer may be in your memory." wp.me/p8IxYp-2s3
