New evidence into how the medial temporal lobe contributes to visual short-term memory precision. Our latest study shows tDCS over bilateral temporal lobes modulates hippocampal-occipital connectivity, affecting visual memory quality. #hippocampus

We love simpler models, but when they fail to capture individual differences, we have to ask: does simplicity = adequacy? For memory representation, a mixture model often does better at accounting for individual differences. 🧠🔍

Excited to share an awesome study by former postbac @audreyphan_, now @HarvardMITmdphd, with her first first-authored paper! Audrey skillfully blends various analytical approaches to reveal the role of brain connectivity dynamics in human cognition. #NeuralCoding #HumanCognition
incredibly excited to share my first, first-author paper in @NatureComms! how do dynamic changes in functional connectivity give rise to memory formation in humans? 🧠✨

Also check out the paper that inspired this work: neural coding based on neuronal activation sequences could inspire the design of more efficient computation systems.

Congrats to Max Lichtenfeld, a postbac from NIH/NINDS, for an outstanding #sfn2024 talk on how prior associative semantic knowledge contributes to visual change detection in the medial temporal lobe — a key issue to address for understanding human natural visual cognition.

Exciting findings bridging semantic representations with spikes in the human brain!
Excited to have our paper on semantic encoding during language comprehension out in Nature this week!

Glad to share @Xinchi_Yu's new work! It blends NLP modeling with beh data to show how semantic knowledge compensates for perceptual constraints to support visual working memory formation - a key finding on the interplay between long-term (semantic) memory and momentary cognition!
Excited to share our preprint for my first project with Zane (Dr. Weizhen Xie) @IconLaboratory! :) We found that semantic associations across real-world objects promotes VWM performance, but only when the encoding time was brief (0.2s). Preprint: 1/2

While familiarity speeds up short-term memory consolidation, memorability boosts perceptual encoding, leading to enduring memories from seconds to >24 hours. Intrigued by how the brain combines these factors for better visual memories! 🧠 Link to pdf:

Santi captivates not just with its futuristic tech but also its proposed cosmic sociology - the intriguing 'dark forest theory.' Introduced 2 decades ago in bite-sized articles, its profound insights transcend the printed page, unveiling the intricate dynamics of civilizations.
Nature spoke to 3 Body Problem's adviser and two other researchers about the portrayal of PhD scientists and their technologies.
