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

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! You can try to silence or erase us, but we aren’t going anywhere. We will keep fighting and being awesome 😤

Since there has been a lot of misinformation circulating since last night, I find this AAMC infographic helpful in illustrating which types of expenses are and are not covered by NIH indirect cost reimbursements.

[Taking a break from bouts of 🤯 😑😩 to be...] Happy that our paper is officially out in the latest issue of TICS: go.illinois.edu/Lee2025_TICS and highlighted with a beautiful cover art by Ally Dworetsky. Check 👇 for a quick summary

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 ⬇️

Our lab is hiring a post doc! We are looking specifically for someone with machine learning research experience to contribute to funded simulation projects on learning and/or replay. Please share, and email me if you are interested!!

Mentors and advisors, a very impactful thing you can do right now is to assure your mentees from all backgrounds that you will continue to support them because their worth is not contingent on any program or funding mechanism 💕

Wow, non-invasive stimulation of the human hippocampus & entorhinal cortex during VR-navigation inside the MRI scanner! Impressive technical achievement and interesting result. By Beanato et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to human learning through noninvasive manipulation of brain activity patterns @urochester.bsky.social @uor-braincogsci.bsky.social #URochesterResearch

I have recently launched the relational cognition lab at UC Irvine: relcoglab.org! We study learning and memory in mind, brains and machines. I am open to collaborations and hiring a lab technician (lab manager/junior specialist). Job ad & application here: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09400.

Can dreams help us see memory consolidation as it unfolds in the sleeping brain? In this new paper, we describe how dreams reactivate multiple memories simultaneously, combining fragments of recent and remote memory in a way that may be adaptive. 1/2 #SleepPeeps #neuroskyence #psychscisky

🚨New paper alert! What would you call this object? Most folks would say "guitar". You could be less specific ("musical instrument") or more ("Fender Stratocaster"), but we tend to use the mid-level (the "basic level" coined by Eleanor Rosch). Why? 1/ #neuroskyence #visionscience

Really happy to see this out! We show that behavioral judgments of the purpose and social content of observed actions capture a surprisingly large portion of variance in neural representational geometry throughout the action observation network and in ventral temporal cortex: doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Great overview on brain atlases here by Revell et al! Which one is best though? Well, it's not that simple! None of them reflects "ground truth", and parcellation scale, shape, and coverage impact structure-function predictions. Good discussion in the paper! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our paper "Memory reactivation generates new, adaptive behaviours that reach beyond direct experience" is now out www.nature.com/articles/s41...! With Annie Rawson, Jill O’Reilly and Helen Barron at MRC BNDU @ndcnoxford.bsky.social 1/6

We use our memories to make predictions – but what happens when our memories are outdated and our predictions are wrong? @cnwahlheim.bsky.social & @jzacks.bsky.social review evidence for how memories can be differentiated or integrated in light of new evidence www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Scientists, including BCS faculty Coraline Iordan, have developed a novel approach to human learning through noninvasive manipulation of brain activity patterns. Read More: https://buff.ly/4ivoQEC #URochesterResearch @coralineiordan.bsky.social @urneuroscience.bsky.social 

New paper out! Memory for object features is warped according to their role in a category, w/ features shared across category-mates misremembered as more similar. We explored the phenomenon in our NN model of the hipp. w/ @annaschapiro.bsky.social & @codydong.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/opmi...

Human hippocampal and entorhinal neurons encode the temporal structure of experience. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to see this work led by Zaid Zada now published in Neuron! We use LLM embeddings to capture word-by-word linguistic content transmitted from the speaker's brain to the listener's brain in real-time, face-to-face conversations: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Proud of my first contribution to memory research: “Brain and eye movement dynamics track the transition from learning to memory-guided action” out in @currentbiology.bsky.social, great team effort together with Janina Klingspohr, Marcel Kehl & Bernhard Staresina. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Naturalistic encoding of concepts in the brain @viktorkewenig.bsky.social shows that, while concepts generally encode habitual experiences, the underlying neurobiological organisation is not fixed but depends dynamically on available contextual information. 👏🍾🐐 elifesciences.org/articles/91522

New paper story time (now out in PNAS)! We developed a method that caused people to learn new categories of visual objects, not by teaching them what the categories were, but by changing how their brains worked when they looked at individual objects in those categories. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Our work on inductive biases in reinforcement learning is out: tinyurl.com/yfc74e3u By the fantastic @noahedrich.bsky.social Ppl learn faster from slowly changing features; we argue this reflects an inductive bias. Teamwork w @ericschulz.bsky.social & S HallMcMaster #neuroskyence #compneuro

The Visual Learning Lab at UC San Diego is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to join our lab! Read more about our lab at www.vislearnlab.org

Happy publication day to us! New paper just landed: The holistic forgetting of events and the (sometimes) fragmented forgetting of objects www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition 🧪

📅 New lab review article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social with allydworetsky.bsky.social, & @laboranathan.bsky.social Check it out here: go.illinois.edu/ticsReview #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #Neuroimaging #neuroscience 🧵below...

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)
