Perceptual discrimination of complex objects: Apolipoprotein E e4 gene‐dose effects in mid‐life

INTRODUCTION Complex perceptual discrimination is supported by tau-vulnerable regions of the medial temporal lobe (MTL); notably the perirhinal cortex. This research tests whether there is a gene-do...

We had a wonderful evening last night with Ciara Greene and Sam Berens discussing how reconstructive, and therefore unreliable and biased, our memories can be - as well as the dangers of coerced confessions and internalised false memories. @samberens.bsky.social @ciaragreene.bsky.social

The first paper of my PhD is out! See our findings in the thread below https://online.ucpress.edu/collabra/article/10/1/116195/200614/The-Relationship-Between-Subjective-Memory (co-authors @chrismbird.bsky.social @flaviadielle.bsky.social @samberens.bsky.social @maureenritchey.bsky.social) (1/9)

Great work and top-notch thread skills from @kasiamojescik.bsky.social ! Please take a look if you're a fan of memory, aging, subjective experience, or all three! #PsychSkySci #neuroskyence

Hopefully dropping a new preprint next week by the amazing @akulsatish.bsky.social. Using MEG to reveal the oscillatory dynamics involved in spatial learning, building on our previous fMRI experiment by @samberens.bsky.social: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #Cognition

Tracking the Emergence of Location-based Spatial Representations in Human Scene-Selective Cortex

Abstract. Scene-selective regions of the human brain form allocentric representations of locations in our environment. These representations are independent of heading direction and allow us to know w...
