@linniplidot.bsky.social giving a talk in Plymouth at the APP on data from a Ukrainian sample about the roles of memory fragmentation and thought control during war times. #spohadlab

Thanks to the ”Autobiographical Memory Processing in Psychopathology” for the opportunity to present our data from a project from the Spohad Lab 🇺🇦 showing the relationship between memory fragmentation, thought control and post-traumatic stress in a Ukrainian sample during wartimes. #APP2026

We are happy to share our research, recently published in Nature Communication! Using a naturalistic memory task, we show that life events are represented in the brain in different formats, highlighting the flexibility of the memory system. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Episodic events are flexibly encoded in both integrated and separated neural representations - Nature Communications

People often need to remember unique details while also finding connections across experiences. Here, the authors show that the brain flexibly links related events while preserving their distinct feat...

The Memory Lab congratulates @mariusboeltzig.bsky.social to the successful defense of his PhD! Well done Dr. Boeltzig! 👨‍🎓 Marius did excellent research in the @schubotzlab.bsky.social on understanding how the size of prediction errors shapes episodic memory. 🧠 Make sure to check out his work!

New preprint: Inference over hidden contexts shapes the geometry of conceptual knowledge for flexible behaviour. In this pre-reg study, our core claim was that we don’t just learn stimulus-reward. We infer hidden context and that inference re-wires attention and neural state space on the fly. 1/8

7/ This research identifies the aperiodic exponent as a potential biomarker for individual differences in cognitive ageing. A huge thanks to the Healthy Brain Ageing team at UniSC and the @lund-memory-lab.bsky.social at @lund-university.bsky.social 🔗 Check out the paper here:

Resting-state EEG aperiodic exponent moderates the association between age and memory performance in older adults

Memory functions are susceptible to age-related cognitive decline, making it essential to explore the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms that co…

Excited to share our new paper! By combining EEG and eye-tracking, we found that relational memory retrieval is supported by two distinct neural processes across sequential fixations: An early, general theta increase and a target-selective alpha decrease. doi.org/10.1111/psyp...

This study reveals how eye movements and neural oscillations jointly shape relational memory retrieval. By linking distinct theta and alpha dynamics across fixations to the retrieval of goal-relevant...

We secured a grant from Lund University, allowing us to invite two collaborators, Karine Malyesheva and Illia Zarubin, from Taras Shevchenko University Kyiv for a week. Great discussions on future possibilities. @mikael-johansson.bsky.social @linniplidot.bsky.social @lund-memory-lab.bsky.social

That was an exciting week with NAC (Natural and Artificial Cognition) and the SweCog (Swedish Cognition) conference in Lund!🤩 We had the opportunity to present our research on eye tracking and multi tasking, social inferences, how our brain extracts specifics and gist, and war memories in Ukraine.

Looking forward to connecting over talks, posters and plenty of cognitive science at Swecog 2025 in Lund! See you October 7-9 👋 konferens.ht.lu.se/swecog-2025/

SweCog 2025 Conference

Poster presentations by our PhD students and researchers! Mnemonic Similarity Task with generative AI, neural dynamics during relational eye movement effect during retrieval, temporal dynamics of semantic and emotional event details, neural representations during gaze reinstatement…more to come! 🤩

ICON 2025 in beautiful Porto is rolling! 🇵🇹 Lund Memory Lab is partaking with research poster presentations, talks and sustained attention. 🧠👀 Happy to meet old and new friends for some good 🍷 as well!
