There are salient updates to attend to BUT if you’re wondering how they organize your memory, here’s a review/simulation offering diff. roles of prediction errors in building & breaking our models of the world w/ @davidclewett.bsky.social @jameswardantony.bsky.social inspired by Sarah DuBrow (1/7)
New lab paper led by @justfineneuro.bsky.social
"Complementary roles for hippocampus and anterior cingulate in composing continuous choice”, now on bioRxiv!

The title of the paper, "Beliefs about Perception Shape Perceptual Inference: An Ideal Observer Model of Detection", with the author names, and Fig. 1: a schematic of an inverse optics account of vision.
Our "I would have seen it if it were there" paper — a collaboration with @ranimo.bsky.social and @clarepress.bsky.social — is now out in Psych. Review.
There’s a lot in this paper, but here are what I see as the 3 main takeaways:

@diamondn.bsky.social et al. find that sleep enhances memory for the order of events from an art tour, but not the details of the events. The sleep-related advantage for sequences persists for over a year. @brianlevine.bsky.social

Terrific how-to on communicating the value of basic research to the public in @thetransmitter.bsky.social by @tonyzador.bsky.social.
You may be curious. But when you are communicating the value of what you do, it’s not about you. Point to discoveries.

A lot of work about their role in memory by the Goshen lab - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Excited to share our preprint "Fast-timescale hippocampal processes bridge between slowly unfurling neocortical states during memory search" 🧠✨ We leverage iEEG to elucidate the fast neural mechanisms by which long multimodal narratives are unfurled in continuous memory-search tinyurl.com/wjkr3dvf

New paper out in @pnas.org with @laurendinicola.bsky.social, Noam Saadon-Grosman, Mark Eldaief and Randy Buckner!
We revisited the functional specialization of the human hippocampal long axis across two independent datasets, with some surprising results.

The Computational and Cognitive Neural Sciences lab at UC Riverside is recruiting psychology PhD students to join our team! Check out the flyer to learn about the lab and our stellar research community at UCR. Apply by 12/1! @halledz.bsky.social @ilanabennett.bsky.social @ucriverside.bsky.social
Thank you for this starter pack! Would love to be added!
Super-psyched to share this preprint from my student Yicong (Alan) Zheng: "Recurrent Inhibitory Dynamics in the Entorhinal Cortex Support Pattern Separation" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... It's a new biologicaly-based computational model of the entorhinal-hippocampal system. Thread (1/?)
Don´t plot means & confidence intervals alone; your data is more than that! With easy raincloud plots in JASP you get the full picture and can draw better conclusions.

My lab at UCRiverside is once again recruiting grad students - come join us if you're interested in studying memory using EEG and/or fMRI in younger and older adults!
You can check out more info on my grad app FAQ: bit.ly/dzmac
Lots of my other fab colleagues are also recruiting: bit.ly/ccngrad
Postdoc alert!
@mickcraig.bsky.social and I are looking for a postdoc to work for 3 years on thalamic place cells in beautiful Scotland! Details here: jefferylab.com/recruitment Closing date Oct 11. Drop me a line if you would like to discuss first
