Do novel experiences shortly before or after learning improve memory for what was learned?
They don’t according to Raza et al., but simply resting might.

🧠 The Mind Meeting Series is back!
Organized by us & Bicanski Lab, featuring leading scientists in cognitive and computational neuroscience.

Our first speaker is @lukaskunz.bsky.social (University Hospital Bonn).

🗓 February 12 | 3:00 PM
📍 In person (Zoom available)

We look forward to seeing you!

I thought you might have, sorry for not including that thought due to brevity. I shared your WP in our internal chat, so maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can engage with it :)

Krankenkassen wollen Honorare für Psychotherapeuten absenken – Deutsches Ärzteblatt

Great work. I think it may be helpful to speak to providers both individuals and institutions to get a view of the substantial obstacles. The German health insurances play a huge role in this systemic failure, currently trying to reduce pay for psychotherapists: www.aerzteblatt.de/news/kranken...

🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n

Disrupted hippocampal replay is associated with reduced offline map stabilization in an Alzheimer’s mouse model Shipley et al. show that spatial memory deficits in an Alzheimer’s mouse model are associated with place cell instability and degraded reactivations in rest. Although reactivation rates are preserved,...

So happy to finally see this out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We found that disrupted replay structure in an AD model was linked to reduced place cell stability and more repetitive behaviour on a radial maze 🧠 @abrate.bsky.social @caswell.bsky.social #neurosky

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Would love to hear expert views on this paper. It appears to show that the operationalization of brain activity the field has relied on for 3 decades—the BOLD response—is not actually a sensible measure of brain activity.

At #PuG2026 in Heidelberg you can look forward to 3 keynote lectures by Simone Shamay-Tsoory („Inter-brain coupling during empathic interactions“), @mschoenauer.bsky.social („The role of reactivation in forming long-term memories“) and @micahgallen.com („Toward Causality in Interoception Research“)!

It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.

My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

A unifying account of replay as context-driven memory reactivation A context-driven memory model simulates a wide range of characteristics of waking and sleeping hippocampal replay, providing a new account of how and why replay occurs.

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!
