Great work by Roni Tibon (not on BlueSky) - surprising that negligible difference in fMRI correlates of semantic vs episodic retrieval?
Are episodic and semantic memory really that different? Using closely matched tasks, a new study found no substantial neural differences between recalling personal experiences and general knowledge: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Neural activations and representations during episodic versus semantic memory retrieval - Nature Human Behaviour
In this Stage 2 Registered Report, Tibon et al. showed using fMRI that neural activity associated with successful memory retrieval did not differ between semantic and episodic memory, using a task wit...

Happy to share this early Christmas present 🎄: our paper about geometry- and locomotion-dependence of 3D memory got published in PNAS! Joint work with co-first-author Volker Reisner (@reisnerv.bsky.social) as well as Leonard König, Misun Kim & Christian Doeller

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠
We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference.

Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference
Learning depends not only on the content of what we learn, but also on how we learn and on how experiences are structured over time. To investigate how task similarity and training regime interact dur...

Amazing study!
Our paper in @natcomms.nature.com, we show how cognitive maps in the hippocampal system could solve the general problem of representing and relating multiple alternative action plans.
