It's about time: Specific and unspecific effects of episodic future thinking on farsighted decisions

Humans tend to discount the value of delayed rewards. As a consequence, they forego larger long-term benefits (e.g., €29 in 91 days) in favor of small…

New preprint! What happens in the brain when people offload memories into external reminders? Using fMRI decoding, we found that the corresponding neural trace fades until it becomes statistically absent. osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵...

Excited to share my first fMRI paper in @pnas.org We found that suppressing the encoding of one event can strengthen the neural representation of the next in CA1, and bias retrieval-related neural restatement away from suppressed information. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Hey fellows of the Psychonomic Society! Two grad students in my lab would be keen to present @ #psynom25 @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social. Would any of you be able and willing to sponsor the submission of their poster abstracts? (Caveat: They would need a sponsor letter in time for today's deadline.)

Ever wondered how imagining prospective events helps us make farsighted decisions? Our preprint w/@heidrunschultz.bsky.social elucidates how it affects delay discounting. It notably reveals that the same mechanism can also nudge us towards more impulsive choices. @mpicbs.bsky.social @colorado.edu

Can someone forget much of their life? Yes! In Psychogenic amnesia, extreme stress leads to the loss of years of memories, including all the people the patient knows. Why? Read about what we have discovered in @laura-marsh.bsky.social‬ 's new paper or in the outstanding thread below #neuroskyence

I just signed the letter and hope that the MRC will maintain this extraordinary research environment. Closing the units with all their huge added value would be a great loss for science at large.

Congratulations to the awesome Dr. Ann-Kristin Meyer, who defended her thesis on memory suppression with flying colors - summa cum laude! How lucky we were to have her in the Adaptive Memory Lab back at @mpicbs.bsky.social! Find some of AK's work at elifesciences.org/articles/71309, w/ more to come.
