Our new episode is out! We talk with @annaschapiro about neural network models, the Complementary Learning System theory and Anna's recent work on testing predictions of neural network models with TMR/EEG Big thank you to Anna for joining the podcast! https://t.co/Tq13tbYAlw

New preprint! Statistical structure skews object memory toward predictable successors. Model simulations show how this bias can arise from the backward expansion of hippocampal representations. w/co-first Cody Dong, @MarlieTandoc & @AnnaSchapiro

JOB ALERT: Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoc position in Osaka, Japan! Plus PhD positions for April 2026. PLEASE REPOST! We had to re-start the process after our preferred candidate withdrew. Info 👇.

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!!

🌟 Cai Lab @Nature paper alert! In new work led by @mysteriousjoe_, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: https://t.co/Ur8dbGfuP3

happy to share this with everyone—a sleep content decoder. Hope some may find it useful...!

Temporal structure of experience etched on firing of human hippocampal-entorhinal neurons to serve memory & prediction. See our study @Nature at @UCLANsgy, great work by lead author @PTacikowski with @GuldamlaKalendr & @DavideCili support @NIH_NINDS. https://t.co/4wWzb1N4r5

MindCORE Postdoc Fellowship @Penn Apply by Dec 1, 2024 Designed for new(ish) PhDs in neuro, psych, ling, philo, CIS, cog sci+ 3 yrs salary +20K research fund More: https://t.co/niuXIS8uT0 Pls RT @whartonknows @PennEngGrad @AnnenbergPenn @PennLinguistics @PennBiology @PennNGG

What do artificial and biological vision have in common? Shared architectures? Shared task objectives? In this preprint, we suggest a more general explanation: they share universal dimensions of natural image representation.

New paper out! We show how children really are little sponges, learning to the same extent regardless of whether we tell them to focus or not! And the fact that @MarlieTandoc managed to see this through from her lab-manager days will forever impress me!!

📣 New paper with @mariam_s_aly and @ChrisBaldassano! We show that consolidation improves memory for temporal structure and makes multistep predictions more efficient but less perceptually detailed! Read more here:

Sad to be missing CCN myself, but @neuro_zz is there! Go check out this new project we are very excited about tomorrow!

How are multiple interconnected memories reactivated during #sleep? We've published our opinions, but here I'd like to highlight recent findings from other groups. Tl;dr: multiple memories can be (almost) simultaneously reactivated & shared contexts drive this reactivation 1/8

📢The latest from talented @SAbbaspoor 's PhD is out in @cellreports! You into ensembles (@DiagBiochips DA or #neuropixels in #nhp)? ❤️CA1 microcircuits? Wonder why we don’t know how they support #memory or behavior in #primates? Like inhibitory cell types? Cell Assemblies in😴?

We are hiring 2 RAs in the AML (now at University of Oregon) with an anticipated start date of late summer/early fall. I promise it will be a fun place to study motivation, affect, and memory! Find more info about the position in the ad below, and a link to apply in the thread.

Excited to share new work @icmlconf by Loek van Rossem exploring universal aspects of representation learning Why is it that large, complex models often learn similar representations? And why might these be similar to the brain? How can we understand this theoretically? (1/11)

Turns out we learn from imagined experiences via an endogenous prediction error! Complementary behavioral, computational & neural evidence in this #preprint by awesome lab alumna @aroma_dabas, w/@rasmusbruckner & @HeidrunSchultz. https://t.co/SrkgksEdlr @MPI_CBS @CUPsychandNeuro

I'm excited to share a new review paper with @morganbarense on the role of sleep in autobiographical memory out now in Current Sleep Medicine Reports. (1/2) https://t.co/ODE5guyRmD

Thrilled to announce that our work on the role of ripples in memory reactivation during human NREM sleep has been published in @NatureComms. With the amazing @t_staudigl, @b_j_griffiths, and @mervekutlu_ https://t.co/nc4NbrtJV7

Super excited to share this one, out now in J Neuro! Memory reactivation during sleep does not act holistically on object memory. Led by the amazing @lizsiefert!!
