Suthana et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. They show that neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly. @suthanalab.bsky.social @seeber.bsky.social

🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes.

New episode!

I talked to Roberto Bottini about cognitive maps, image spaces, how blind people have altered grid-like coding, egocentric and all-centric perspectives, some tips for grant writing & much more.

Thanks Roberto for being a guest!

Trying out Blue Sky

Would be fantastic if some former guests could retweet/whatever you call it here, so I'm not starting from scratch again

Check out our new paper: we used iEEG in freely-moving humans, to study neural representations of memory and space in the human MTL during ambulatory spatial navigation. Hot off the press from the Suthana lab, spearheaded by the amazing Sabrina Maoz:
