1/9 New paper with @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social and @lindedomingo.bsky.social : “Characterising semantic prioritisation in visual working memory.”
Core question: when we hold visual info briefly in mind, what gets accessed first: perceptual details or semantic meaning?

AI, particularly in the form of LLMs has significantly shaken the field of psychology, and the behavioural sciences in general. Among excitement about the capabilities, there are also significant concerns about what use of AI - by respondents or researchers - will mean for the field.

Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?

Aperiodic 1/f noise drives ripple activity in humans - Nature Communications How aperiodic 1/f noise drives ripple activity in human brain and impacts on ripple detections is not fully understood. Here authors show that ripple detections should be driven by the 1/f noise, whic...

Ripple oscillations are central for memory and sleep.

But ripple detection in humans remains challenging. Here we introduce a simulation approach in @natcomms.nature.com as common ripple detectors mainly pick up 1/f noise and not genuine oscillations

New preprint: Inference over hidden contexts shapes the geometry of conceptual knowledge for flexible behaviour.

In this pre-reg study, our core claim was that we don’t just learn stimulus-reward. We infer hidden context and that inference re-wires attention and neural state space on the fly.

These findings challenge the assumption that rhythmic light stimulation is spectrally precise.

Instead, they suggest rhythmic stimulation elicits multiple, concurrent responses, each with its own neural and behavioural signature. [5/6]

Importantly, when analysing visual perceptual performance, models that accounted for both responses did a better job of explaining behaviour, suggesting fundamental and harmonic responses to stimulation independently shape visual perception. [4/6]

Using empirical mode decomposition, we found that:

(i) beta-band rhythmic light stimulation produces harmonic oscillatory responses at gamma frequencies, and...

(ii) theta-band rhythmic light stimulation produces harmonic oscillatory responses at alpha frequencies. [3/6]

Synchronisation theory states that a rhythmic input can entrain higher frequency endogenous rhythms, but does this happen when the brain responds to rhythmic stimulation?

We investigated this across three M/EEG datasets, using a variety of stimulation parameters and two experimental tasks. [2/6]

Rhythmic light stimulation elicits multiple concurrent neural responses that separably shape human perception Rhythmic light stimulation offers solutions to innumerable cognitive and neurological disorders. However, like any neuromodulatory technique, responses to rhythmic light stimulation are highly variabl...

Delighted to share our new preprint!

We show that rhythmic light stimulation produces multiplexed oscillatory responses at fundamental and harmonic frequencies that are spatially, temporally, and functionally distinct.

A neural state space for episodic memories Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …

Temporal dedifferentiation of neural states with age during naturalistic viewing - Communications Biology Movie fMRI data reveals age-related lengthening of neural states in visual and prefrontal regions, reflecting reduced temporal differentiation while preserved alignment with perceived events suggests stable coarse event segmentation.

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next.

🧠✨ Preprint alert!

Ever noticed how most people (without realizing it) tend to see the left side of space a bit more strongly? In our new study, we show that this subtle quirk—called pseudoneglect—is linked to the asymmetry of putamen, a deep subcortical structure.
