🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 new publication from our lab in @pnas.org ! "Expert navigators deploy rational complexity–based decision precaching for large-scale real-world planning" Entropy of streets & successor representations explain planning speed Colab wth Daniel McNamee at Champalimaud www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is a really interesting new study linking curiosity and cognitive mapping:

Matthias Gruber@mjgruber.bsky.social · 2y ago

"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.bsky.social in collaboration with @cjhodgetts.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...
