Super excited to share this preprint! How do we disentangle underlying structure from the particular features of a learning episode to benefit future learning? We find that memory reactivation during sleep promotes this structure abstraction process.

📣 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
The Memory Disorders Research Society (MDRS) is seeking nominations for new members. Self-nominations are welcome! The society is broadly focused on memory research; not just disorders.
Here is the nomination form, which includes info about eligibility criteria: forms.gle/Qn7mchoPpaqL...
Very exciting! Congrats!
🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation
1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep.

🔥 New preprint!
Excited to share Johannah's fantastic work -> a preregistered study with two replications showing how uncertainty shapes perceptual insight.
As always, it’s been a great ride working with Johannah and Carlos.
I am excited to share my first paper, showing that episodic memory formation is theta rhythmic, is now published in Nature Human Behavior! Check it out here: rdcu.be/e6pzS. Thanks to my PI, Katherine Duncan, and to my collaborators for their support on this journey! Stay tuned for iEEG follow up 🧠
Excited to share a new paper spearheaded by the wonderful @baror-shira.bsky.social:

We test the link between serial dependence (as an index of continuity) and event boundaries (indexing segmentation). A few key findings in the thread:
Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?
A great team effort by Anton Bel-Álvarez, Josué García-Arch, Laura Nóbrega from our lab, Alin Coman (@Princeton), and Teresa Bajo (@UGR).
Is optimism socially transmissible?
Our new study shows it propagates via social prediction errors. When we "imagine together," simulation discrepancies drive an update in expectations to align with the group. A dynamic resource shaped by social interaction.

Really thrilled that this paper led by @neurozz.bsky.social is now published in its final version in @elife.bsky.social!!
This is a memory-focused (as opposed to RL-focused) account of the detailed characteristics of forward and backward awake and sleep replay!

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.

👇 #SleepPeeps Please repost to help me spread the word on this study. This is a very big commitment compared to most "online" studies... but I know there are some good participants out there on the interweb who what to help! 🙂👇
Excited to share our new publication on the influence of odor perception on memory. Congratulations to @joantarridav.bsky.social for initiating this fascinating line of research in our lab.
🚨 New preprint alert!
Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.
Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.
👇 Highlights (1/7):
Are the brain's representational formats predetermined by its intrinsic architecture, or are they efficiently tuned to the statistical structure of the visual world? In our new study, we test these possibilities.
So proud of this fantastic and inspiring work, led by @jazzmaniatico.bsky.social.

preprint alert 🚨
1/ Can we accurately detect sequential replay in humans using Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling (#TDLM)? In our recent study, we could not find any replay and decided to dig deeper by running a hybrid simulation with surprising results. Link to preprint & details below 👇
