Julia Schaefer @julia-sc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026🧵1/5 We constantly engage with our environment through sequences of actions and these actions shape how episodic memories are formed. But how do they interact with the neural dynamics underlying memory retrieval? 110
Julia Schaefer @julia-sc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026🧵2/5 We investigated whether gaze shifts (head & eye movements as major exploratory actions in humans) structure the neural reactivation of sequential memories. Participants learned multiple action sequences by pairing images with distinct gaze shifts, while we recorded EEG and motion-tracking data 110
Julia Schaefer @julia-sc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026🧵3/5 During subsequent retrieval tests, recalled gaze-shift sequences served as a direct behavioral readout of memory performance: if participants forgot a specific gaze shift, they also tended to forget the associated image. 120
