Rm 25a @10:45 to hear about first full cell assembly reactivation in sleep in primates (human or nonhuman), comparing rvn for newly-learned and old memoranda. Implications for memory linking, integration. @sabbaspoor.bsky.social and I would love your feedback! #sfn25 🧠🧪

…and how important arousal is. That part held true for us too, when we discovered the first ripples during exploration…we never saw them in the first second or two after image onset. www.jneurosci.org/content/35/4...
Sharp Wave Ripples during Visual Exploration in the Primate Hippocampus
Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are highly synchronous oscillatory field potentials that are thought to facilitate memory consolidation. SWRs typically occur during quiescent states, when neural...

Sad to miss the rest of this session, but excited to go meet with the brainfacts.org team. We have a lot of exciting new results in brain/mind research to unpack (yeah!) as well as a disturbing amount to misinformation to combat (sigh). If you aren’t following @brainfacts.org, you must!

Fixed it, for you cv entry: “I spend just the right amount of time researching pastries and bakeries when I travel”🥐

And I’m a big fan of Turing, von Neumann, Shannon, Metcalfe, Hinton, Sejnowski, and all the other algorithmic and computation people. No shade.
But data limits still limit understanding of the brain. That’s why the #NIH US BRAIN Init was so important: public investment made new tools.
