Improved detection and spatiotemporal spectral analysis of neural traveling waves

Traveling waves (TWs) are a fundamental mode of neural dynamics, yet existing detection methods are limited by sensor geometry, spatial-frequency resolution, signal amplitude, and ambiguity between...

Visual Categorization: How monkeys carve up the visual world

Monkeys generalize many visual categorization rules, such as animate versus inanimate, but fail on culturally defined ones, placing their behavior closer to networks trained on images alone than to...

Diagnostic Images for Mild Cognitive Impairment Are Sensitive to Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers and Reveal Abnormal Scene Processing dlvr.it/TVQjnQ

Diagnostic Images for Mild Cognitive Impairment Are Sensitive to Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers and...

Abstract. Research on visual episodic memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease often focuses on memory processes rather than the specific content of the images being remembered. We previously showed...

Retrieval-related Eye Movements Are Predictive of Memory Precision

Abstract. Eye movements are predictive of successful episodic memory encoding and retrieval, but it is unclear whether they reflect the precision of retrieved memory content. Here, we examined...

**new paper: Superposition in Brains** What if Barlow was wrong? In his neuron doctrine (1972), he suggested to search for the 'trigger features' of each neuron to understand cortex. But what if that is the wrong coordinate system to understand neural representations? biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Memory Reactivation Levels Remain Unaffected by Anticipated Interference

Abstract. Most daily tasks require frequent information exchange between working memory (WM) and long-term memory (LTM). However, the factors that modulate the reactivation of LTMs in WM remain to be...

Can Category-selective Cortex Predict Categorization Behavior?

Abstract. One of the distinctive features of the human visual system is the presence in occipito-temporal cortex (OTC) of regions that show preferential activation to specific categories of visual...

I'm honored to receive an NIH R01 to study the cortical organization of syntax, focusing on aphasia. This was a long road - thanks to all who helped in so many ways. I'll be recruiting a postdoc/research coordinator and PhD students, please reach out if you are interested!

What is the role of working memory in segmenting continuous experience into events? Does information gradually accumulate in working memory, or is the preceding event reactivated when we encounter a boundary? Check our new paper in JoCN🧵: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/…

Working Memory Facilitates Event Segmentation Via Boundary-triggered Reactivation and Partial...

Abstract. Event segmentation is the cognitive process of dividing continuous experiences into meaningful units. Although working memory (WM) is believed to play an instrumental role in event segmen...
