I study the human brain with virtual reality and high-def monitors. Professor at the University of Chicago.
I have moved my lab to @uchicago! Really excited to be here and collaborate with all the wonderful scientists and clinicians here.

🧠 Paper out!
We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:
🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall
Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

Movie-watching evokes ripple-like activity within events and at event boundaries
Nature Communications - The neural processes involved in memory formation for realistic experiences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors found that ripple-like activity in the human...

Hi Bluesky! First post here. Kicking things off with a new preprint.
🧠 Using human iEEG + pharmacology, we asked: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval?
Turns out it’s not. Instead, it may reflect a reinstated encoding mode.
Thread below.

Cholinergic blockade reveals role for human hippocampal theta in encoding but not retrieval
Cholinergic dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and other memory disorders. Yet, the neurophysiological mechanisms linking cholinergic signaling to memory remain poorly understood. In thi...
