We thank @dfg.de @ml4science.bsky.social @brainloops.bsky.social @tuebingen-ai.bsky.social for the support!

In summary: Phase of firing reflects temporal order of items through a revised mechanism linking oscillatory phase, stimulus timing, and memory - and not through direct, order-preserving encoding

(4/6)
Analysis of the RNN nd comparison with human recordings suggests a more general idea:
Phase of firing is shaped by an interaction of the dynamics of stimulus presentation and oscillation frequency.

(3/6)
We asked: How would a recurrent neural network solve the task?
In a similar way: it also showed phase-structured firing that didn’t match item order, just like the human brain data.

(2/6)
Despite observing strong theta oscillations and phase-specific firing for items, we found no evidence that neurons fire in the same sequence as items were presented. (A direct contradiction to a classical prior theory)

With @stefanieliebe.bsky.social, J. Niediek, @matthijspals.bsky.social , @humansingleneuron.bsky.social & @mackelab.bsky.social.
We recorded from 1,420 neurons and 921 LFP channels in human MTL in epilepsy patients during sequential working memory.

Science Alert 🚨: Our paper is now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social - We show that the firing phase of neurons in human MTL doesn’t reflect the order of events, challenging a long-standing theory of human memory.
