How prediction error drives memory updating: role of locus coeruleus–hippocampal interactions
The brain constantly generates predictions based on one’s knowledge of the world, as captured in memory. When these predictions are in error, our know…

Hola de nuevo! Nuestro ya querido ReproducibiliTea está de vuelta un curso más 🤗. Para retomar el ritmo, este mes abordaremos un artículo en forma de comentario sobre la cuestión de si merece la pena coordinarnos mejor en ciencia 🤝. Os esperamos el próximo 27 de octubre a las 16h.

It may sound obvious, but I’m amazed by how much time and effort you can save just by simply sharing and discussing ideas with as many people as possible **before** stepping into the lab 🥲.

Very happy to finally see this out! A while ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet an awesome group of scientists from very diverse fields, interested in exchanging thoughts, experiences and ideas. In this book, we collect some of these exchanges as a celebration the richness of science.

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience?

Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall.

Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!
Repeated Viewing of a Narrative Movie Changes Event Timescales in The Brain
Many experiences occur repeatedly throughout our lives: we might watch the same movie more than once and listen to the same song on repeat. How does the brain modify its representations of events when...

Successful prediction of the future enhances encoding of the present.

I am so delighted that this work found a wonderful home at Open Mind. The peer review journey was a rollercoaster but it *greatly* improved the paper.

Thrilled to share this resource: if you have a Psychology/CogNeuro background and you are considering embracing coding into your workflow, this guide is for you (or your students in this situation!). Thanks to @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social for leading this initiative!
🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind.

Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

How can we resolve ambiguous visual input? To answer this question, Mooney images meets THINGS and large scale behavior! Amazing effort by an amazing crew in Granada, and happy to play a small part in it!

New paper out! 🎉 “Evolving Engrams Demand Changes in Effective Cues” (Hippocampus). In this opinion piece, we discuss how retrieval processes can be enhanced and offer an alternative to one of the field’s few enduring principles: encoding specificity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Evolving Engrams Demand Changes in Effective Cues
A longstanding principle in episodic memory research, known as the encoding specificity hypothesis, holds that an effective retrieval cue should closely match the original encoding conditions. This p...
