We are excited to share out new study investigating the importance of temporal and content structure when watching movies! doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Happy to belatedly share some good pre-Christmas news: My colleague Karine Malysheva from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and I secured a Collaborative Diversity and Inclusion grant from @officialsarmac.bsky.social.

We are proud to share the first publication of our cooperation project with the German Sport University Cologne! doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

I'm excited to share our new paper about initial prediction errors, which arise spontaneously at first exposure to coherent novel stimuli. In this study we investigated the neural and mnemonic consequences of initial PEs compared to those of experimentally induced PEs. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

How do gaze patterns and hand movements differ between actors in naturalistic manipulation tasks when one person's action respond to the other's? New research from our lab, led by post-doc Anoush, using eye tracking and motion capture elucidates these processes. www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

Frontiers | Analyzing Gaze and Hand Movement Patterns in Leader-Follower Interactions During a Time-Continuous Cooperative Manipulation Task

In daily life, people often interact by taking on leader and follower roles. Unlike laboratory experiments, these interactions unfold naturally and continuou...

New Paper Out! Why do some prediction errors (PEs) lead to changes in episodic memories and others do not? Our new research supports the idea that the size of the episodic PE plays a crucial role in shaping mnemonic and neural outcomes. These are the 4 most important results:

The Generative Episodic Memory conference organised by our @for2812.bsky.social is coming to an end and three of our lab members presented their current work. Thanks so much to the GEM organisers for putting together this great conference!

New paper about processing of episodic prediction errors out from our lab. Nina will also present this research at next week's GEM, organised by @for2812.bsky.social

The first paper of my PhD is out now in Neuroimage: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The first group of students from the new cohort of the interdisciplinary master’s in cognitive neuroscience visited us for their lab rotation this week. Each group learns about the analysis of MRI data, techniques in brain imaging, and the research interests and activities of our group.

New paper from our lab in NeuroImage on cortical chronotopy, led by Falko Mecklenbrauck! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Decoding Cortical Chronotopy - Comparing the Influence of Different Cortical Organizational Schemes

The brain's diverse intrinsic timescales enable us to perceive stimuli with varying temporal persistency. This study aimed to uncover the cortical org…

New paper from our lab on prediction errors in episodic memory. This is the first paper with our new stimulus material in the PEGI project - a lot more is to come.

My new paper on the effect of prediction errors on episodic memory is out now in Memory www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our lab member Benjamin Jainta successfully defended his PhD! In a great presentation, he summarised his work about prediction errors in episodic memory and highlighted effects of repetition, repeated learning, agency, and perspective.

New research from our lab led by Benjamin Jainta concerning mnemonic consequences of prediction errors just came out in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Find out how the brain responds to repetitive vs varying prediction errors here: doi.org/10.1162/jocn...

Same Same, But Different: Brain Areas Underlying the Learning from Repetitive Episodic Prediction Errors

Abstract. Prediction errors (PEs) function as learning signals. It is yet unclear how varying compared to repetitive PEs affect episodic memory in brain and behavior. The current study investigated ce...

Our post doc Sophie won one of the poster prizes at PUG with her work on episodic memory after prediction errors. Congratulations! Read the paper here: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

Went to my first PUG conference in Hamburg last week - presented some very fresh analyses on memory representations after prediction errors, and got lots of interesting new input on all things cognitive neuroscience.
