I'm excited to share our new paper about initial prediction errors, which arise spontaneously at first exposure to coherent novel stimuli.
In this study we investigated the neural and mnemonic consequences of initial PEs compared to those of experimentally induced PEs.

How do gaze patterns and hand movements differ between actors in naturalistic manipulation tasks when one person's action respond to the other's? New research from our lab, led by post-doc Anoush, using eye tracking and motion capture elucidates these processes. www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...
Frontiers | Analyzing Gaze and Hand Movement Patterns in Leader-Follower Interactions During a Time-Continuous Cooperative Manipulation Task
In daily life, people often interact by taking on leader and follower roles. Unlike laboratory experiments, these interactions unfold naturally and continuou...

New Paper Out!
Why do some prediction errors (PEs) lead to changes in episodic memories and others do not?
Our new research supports the idea that the size of the episodic PE plays a crucial role in shaping mnemonic and neural outcomes.
These are the 4 most important results:

Went to my first PUG conference in Hamburg last week - presented some very fresh analyses on memory representations after prediction errors, and got lots of interesting new input on all things cognitive neuroscience.
