Please RT. Our framework on curiosity is out: How Curiosity Enhances Hippocampus-Dependent Memory: The Prediction, Appraisal, Curiosity, and Exploration (PACE) Framework. together with @CharanRanganath @TrendsCognSci

"Curiosity shapes spatial exploration and cognitive map formation in humans." We are excited to share this novel paradigm and findings on curiosity-based exploration. This project was led tirelessly by @DanluCen in collaboration with @CJHodgetts

Still looking for a book to read over the holidays? "Memory and the Brain: Using, Losing, and Improving." A new popular science book on memory written by the great John Aggleton! I just ordered my copy and can't wait to start reading.

In case you haven't seen on bsky yet. @yana_fandakova has an open PhD position on curiosity and metacognition across childhood and adolescence at the University of Trier (Germany). The project is part of a cool international collaboration. :-)

Pleased to share that @yana_fandakova, @pyoudeyer, Helene Sauzeon, and I received a collaborative 3-year Open Research Area (ORA) grant to study curiosity-based learning across childhood and adolescence. We will soon be recruiting at all three sites (Cardiff, Trier, Bordeaux)!

Happy 10th Birthday to our first paper on curiosity and learning!!! 🎉 Exactly ten years ago we published: States of Curiosity Modulate Hippocampus-Dependent Learning via the Dopaminergic Circuit. @CharanRanganath @NeuroCellPress

@hubermanlab @CharanRanganath in case you like to dive even further into our original experiment on how curiosity affects the dopaminergic circuit and memory, here is a short TEDx talk :-)

RT @wendyjsadler: It was so great for us @scimadesimple to work with @CUBRICcardiff and @PsychCardiffUni on this and can't wait to share o…

@hugospiers @Emre_Yavuz_21 @PearlPlace_ @ucl Ah, I just saw your response. That is amazing, Hugo! Thank you so much and we can't wait to hear what you will find.

@hugospiers @Emre_Yavuz_21 @PearlPlace_ @ucl That is just amazing! Hope it all went well on the day with lots of interesting data to analyse over next years (decades?)

Wow - our @wellcome funded Public Engagement Science Enrichment project the "Curious Brain" together with @scimadesimple and five primary schools has concluded with an inspiring showcase event @Techniquest

@stevenmweisberg @katejjeffery @hugospiers @e_m_odonoghue @ucl @at_RIN Ah cool!! Thank you - that is great to hear! I had no idea who was joining in on zoom. Yes, we hope to extend our work on curiosity in a spatial/navigational context over the next years.

@katejjeffery @hugospiers @e_m_odonoghue @ucl @at_RIN Thank you for the kind words! It was a very inspiring conference. Looking very much forward to further discussions around how curiosity-based exploration can be further leveraged in architecture und urban design planning.

Here is our preprint on this work that has been led and initiated by @DanluCen:

Thank you to @nivedita_mani and the whole Curiosity Research Training Group at Göttingen for the inspiring talks and discussions during the Curiosity Theory kick-off meeting! Can’t wait to come back for a sabbatical in 2025 and see their first findings and lots more discussions!
