Biologist, neuroscientist, interested in memory and what the brain makes of the world. Also, a mum, but less of that here.
Our (with David McAlpine) Einstein Visiting Fellow grant has been prolonged! I am very excited about continuing this fruitful and fun collaboration on a fascinating subject!
Einstein Visiting Fellow David McAlpine, Prof für Auditive Neurologie / Macquarie University (AUS), setzt sein Projekt in Kooperation w/ @liviadehoz.bsky.social / Neuroscience Research Center / Charité, fort. Es wird erforscht, wie Menschen in unterschiedlichen Umgebungen effektiv hören können.(7/9)

Neurons in the medial temporal lobe do not fire in sequence to object presentation. A working memory experiment revealed theta-locked firing without item order. RNNs mirror this pattern, suggesting memory relies on phase coding, not replay.
