Challenges in Navigation Research This open access book explores navigation across species using a multidisciplinary approach to address challenges in research and clinical applications.

New book on navigation (open access). The result of the Ernst Strüngemann Forum 2024. Was great to be there and discuss for a week with 50+ wonderful colleagues. Many thanks to the organizers, Julia Lupp + ESF team, the editors

A year ago I participated in a Strüngmann forum on Navigation Research, a truly fascinating meeting of minds from across #navigation research, from animal to human #behaviour to robotics and healthy aging.

Our (heated) discussions resulted in this fun book chapter (free ⬇️)

The transition to becoming an PI and establishing your first lab is one of the most exciting - and challenging - milestones in a scientist's career.
IBRO Rising Stars Awards can help you bridge that gap.

1/N: Dear cognitive map fans, I’d like to share a model I’ve been working on for a while (clearing backlog :). I show how a vector navigation architecture (VNA) and a “positional inference network” (PIN) can build Universal Cognitive Maps (UCMs) for abstract spaces.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Awake Infants: Insights From More Than 750 Scanning Sessions Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in awake infants has the potential to reveal how the early developing brain gives rise to cognition and behavior. However, awake infant fMRI poses signifi....

Awake infant fMRI offers a rare window into early brain and cognitive development. In a new paper out now in Infancy, we leverage data from hundreds of infant scans from the Saxe and Turk-Browne Labs to reveal what factors drive scanning success — and how future studies can maximize data retention!

Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta‐Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting In 1946, Tolman et al. reported that rats could take a novel shortcut to a goal after training on an indirect route, supporting the Cognitive Map theory. However, a review of subsequent Sunburst maze...

Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts?

Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze.

Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think.
