We just published a new paper in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review examining what drives how people segment continuous experience into distinct memory events.
The takeaway: contextual stability, not prediction error, is the main driver.🧵https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-025-02723-4

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system

Our study using layer fMRI to study the direction of communication between the hippocampus and cortex during perceptual predictions is finally out in Science Advances! Predicted-but-omitted shapes are represented in CA2/3 and correlate specifically with deep layers of PHC, suggesting feedback. 🧠🟦

We make about 3-4 fast eye movements a second, yet our world appears stable. How is this possible? In a preprint led by @lucakaemmer.bsky.social we test the intriguing idea that anticipatory signals in the fovea may explain visual stability.

Exciting new preprint with former lab member @sahcan.bsky.social and his supervisor, Daniel Schneider. Şahcan's work reveals how action correspondence influences working memory gating, increasing atraction bias toward distractors that share action plans with working memory items.
Preprint Alert!!
In our latest study, we describe a novel relationship between action planning and working memory. Our results show that action-item associations affect how working memory maintains the fidelity of sensory information during a task.

Dear BrainProducts EEG users. Two of our bundles are unusable due to water leakage inside the black box that cables are connected. Any suggestions to overcome this would be appreciated. Covering the box with stretch film and silica gel or sponge is one option. Elegant, huh?

Not all neurons show sustained activity during working memory (WM) storage, which led to the idea of silent working memory. In their recent paper, Thrower et al compare WM decoding using PFC neurons with and without persistent delay activity. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...
