⏳ Deadline approaching! Apply by 13 Oct for the Postdoc in Cognitive Neuroscience at MPI Leipzig.

New preprint from the lab and great work by Fei Wang. We show how subiculum trace vector cells can be modeled consistent with known effects in CA1. Traces are driven by a mismatch learning rule to keep associative memories in line with experience.

Join us at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig as a Postdoc to explore cognitive maps in the human brain: learning, memory & the formation of structural representations. Excellent infrastructure with a leading scientific network. Apply by 13 October: postdocprogram.mpg.de/node/21187

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠

We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference.

Congratulations to
@reznikdan.bsky.social
and
@sofievalk.bsky.social
for this tremendous achievement!

Happy to share our new preprint. We found that brain adaptively switches between relational and item-based coding strategies based on the structure of memory contents.

Excellent outcome of #Algonauts2025 challenge by
@algonautsproject.bsky.social: Phase 1 winners, 2nd overall. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Excited to share that our work on the interplay of symmetric learning rules and successor representations (SR) is published in @plos.org (comp.bio)

Work done together with @doellerlab.bsky.social, @caswell.bsky.social and Juergen Jost.

New preprint! We explored how learned movement patterns affect our sense of traveled distance and proposed a neurocomputational model that leverages embodied memories to denoise spatial codes.

Our paper in @natcomms.nature.com, we show how cognitive maps in the hippocampal system could solve the general problem of representing and relating multiple alternative action plans.

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.

We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)
