New publication from our lab! 👀
We found that memory enhancement from PEs depends on the brain's neural state: theta/alpha activity & pre-error reactivation are key. TMS over the superior parietal cortex altered response bias but not PE-related memory effects 💡

Prediction Error-Related Memory Enhancement Depends on the Neural State Surrounding the Prediction Error Event
Prediction errors (PEs) can enhance memory for preceding events. While such PE-related memory enhancements are critical for understanding adaptive memory, their underlying mechanisms are not fully und...

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social

Thrilled to join @stresscognition.bsky.social and @nicoschuck.bsky.social‘s lab at Uni Hamburg!
Excited for my PhD-chapter to start 👩🏻‍💻🧠
📢 On July 1st, our new postdoc Dr. Leon Lange & our new PhD student Neele @elbersgerd.bsky.social (as part of the @rtg2753.bsky.social) joined the lab - a very warm welcome to both! 😍
