It's great to see this out! We discuss how dimensionality transformation unfolds in the brain to aid episodic memory formation and reconstruction, with a particular focus on neuroanatomy and oscillatory dynamics 🧠

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

📢 New preprint from the lab: We are very excited to report the discovery of an oscillation in the Central Thalamus using rare direct recordings of human thalamic electrophysiology. The novel oscillation is tightly coupled to specific, natural states of consciousness.🧵

After years of work designing and running this study with a multi-University team, we have our first preprint 🎉🎉 showing how a memorization technique builds neural representations through conjunctive representations! See thread and preprint link ⬇️

Now out in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social : We discuss how the contents of visual perception, imagery, and prediction can be decoded from rhythmic brain activity and argue that such rhythmic representations offer new insights into neural information propagation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our review out in TiCS spearheaded by Mathilde Bonnefond on the latest ideas on the functional role of alpha oscillations and distractor inhibition - e.g. we highlight that alpha increases might reflect perceptual target load rather than distractor anticipation authors.elsevier.com/a/1kFXN_V1r-...

Many (many) times, when I attend a talk or review a manuscript involving a memory recognition task, this paper comes to mind. If you are designing a recognition memory task, I highly recommend giving it a read: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

I think I've added everyone who has requested it so far and there is still some space so reply if you want to be added (and you do episodic memory research, loosely defined). I'll just add until it fills up!

New paper alert, led by Amir Tal and me, along with Ken Paller, Bruce Caughran, and Lila Davachi. We show that reactivating a memory unconsciously affects it differently than consciously retrieving it! Copying Amir's thread from the other site below.

Some fighting words in the abstract :-) "Now that large-scale simulations are feasible, the complexity of the brain should be respected and intuitive notions of cell type, which can be misleading and arise in any complex network, should be relegated to history." #neuroscience

New preprint! We show that category structure rapidly warps memory for individual object features according to their roles in the category. Features shared across exemplars pull together while unique features stay apart. With @annaschapiro.bsky.social and Cody Dong. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

There was some discussion (on t'other place) about interactions (moderations) being hard to detect, which puzzled me. So I did some Rmd simulations, which I think suggest this may be an over-generalised concern. Have a look, and please correct me where wrong. www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/personal/rik...
