🧠🚨 How does the brain represent what we see? Is visual input transformed to form these representations in similar ways across people and even AI models like DNNs?
We explore these questions using fMRI and large-scale representational alignment analyses.

Convergent transformations of visual representation in brains and models
A fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience is what shapes visual perception: the external world's structure or the brain's internal architecture. Although some perceptual variability can be trac...

🧠 Paper out!
We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:
🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall
Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

1/2 Just like social groups, human memory is organized in interconnected patterns. Activating one memory can trigger related ones, similar to how information spreads through a community. Could social sharing shape how memories are formed?

How does the brain prioritizes working memory content? By analyzing iEEG recordings in epilepsy patients with RSA and various DNN models, we reveal the distinct signatures of WM maintenance and prioritization in the ventral visual stream and the PFC.
