Medial PFC interacts with the hippocampus to retrieve context-congruent memories.. but HOW?? was what started this. Simulating mPFC-HIP🧠, we designed an RNN🤖 that retrieves memories similar in context, on top of self-attention. It learns to retrieve like humans faster! arxiv.org/abs/2609.37791

Excited to be presenting @wmsymposium.bsky.social tomorrow, July 16 at 11:45am CDT! I’ll be sharing my recent work where we provide evidence for a revised model of memory control, in which multiple distinct mechanisms support the regulation of intrusive thoughts. Hope to see you there!

How do we regroup and resume goal directed behaviors when distractions pull us away from our plans? In a snake game inspired memory task, we found people flexibly replan after distraction, but this flexibility was constrained, worked for only one item in memory. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Preprint! Representations in working memory wax and wane with relevance. How does this affect what we remember later? We show that temporal expectations drive competition between items in working memory and that these neural dynamics predict long-term forgetting.
