This looks like a significant discovery from Doris Tao's lab:
Rapid concerted switching of the neural code in the inferotemporal cortex

📣 First paper from the lab! 🎉🧠 Led by brilliant MRes students Aysha and Zhiyun, we found exploring a novel, unpredictable VR environment retroactively enhanced memory in humans: rdcu.be/fc496
New preprint! 🧠
How do RNNs learn abstract rules from sequences, independent of specific stimuli?

Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?
Happy to share this early Christmas present 🎄: our paper about geometry- and locomotion-dependence of 3D memory got published in PNAS! Joint work with co-first-author Volker Reisner (@reisnerv.bsky.social) as well as Leonard König, Misun Kim & Christian Doeller

🚨 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.

📣 Very excited for our symposium on “Building Knowledge Structures” tomorrow at 16:30 at @pug2025.bsky.social
Together with amazing people:
@barnaveliirina.bsky.social
