New preprint! We show low arousal states promote hippocampal ripple genesis in sleep and wake. This bridges rodent work, where ripples predominate during sleep, with human studies reporting ripples during active behavior, identifying low arousal as a common mechanism www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Arousal state modulates human hippocampal ripples

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

I want to highlight a special issue in honor of Sarah DuBrow, a brilliant scientist and dear friend who passed away in 2022. We contributed a paper in which we disentangled the importance of temporal and causal relationships while participants recalled the non-linear narrative, Memento. 🧵 ⬇️ 1/9

New paper out! Memory for object features is warped according to their role in a category, w/ features shared across category-mates misremembered as more similar. We explored the phenomenon in our NN model of the hipp. w/ @annaschapiro.bsky.social & @codydong.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/opmi...

Object Feature Memory Is Distorted by Category Structure

Abstract. Memory systems constantly confront the challenge of capturing both the shared features that connect experiences together and the unique features that distinguish them. Across two experiments...

So happy to see this published! Lila and I looked at how memory representations of sequences became integrated over time through their shared predictive cues. We had fun thinking about the different aspects of systems consolidation that may play a role in this transformation

Excited our new paper is out now in PNAS with @vpmurty.bsky.social & @benrottman.bsky.social! We found that the benefits of the spacing effect on item and associative memory depend on the variability in the content and the timescale of the spacing intervals. Read more: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New preprint! We show that category structure rapidly warps memory for individual object features according to their roles in the category. Features shared across exemplars pull together while unique features stay apart. With @annaschapiro.bsky.social and Cody Dong. doi.org/10.31234/osf...
