If you want to see some screenshots and videos (including audio!) of the VR Memory Palace, check out this awesome article from Columbia! Importantly, each room featured music from all over the world, including tracks by neuroscientists you may know: @jmasis.bsky.social and @jayneuro.bsky.social!

Nice article from Columbia News on our new paper about neural representations of places and remembered items - including a video of the creative VR environment made by @xrmasiso.bsky.social ! news.columbia.edu/news/places-...

What if we could tell you how well you’ll remember your next visit to your local coffee shop? ☕️ In our new Nature Human Behaviour paper, we show that the 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 can be measured with neuroimaging – and 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸.

New study by @xrmasiso.bsky.social et al shows that spatial contexts with more reliable brain representations better support memory for future experiences within them, revealing how stable neural maps help the brain organize and recall life events.

super cool work from @jay_neuro on how music shapes our memories of the movies we watch: folks watched a jim carrey movie & the musical themes reactivated memories from the movie! ||| sounds like i should hire a composer to score my life so i can improve my memory 🎹🎵🎶

Music is an incredibly powerful retrieval cue. What is the neural basis of music-evoked memory reactivation? And how does this reactivation relate to later memory for the retrieved events? In our new study, we used Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to find out. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#CNS2025 was such a blast! It was a delight to work & present our symposium on how VR can be leveraged in neuro/psych research! Make sure to check out the cool research being done by my fellow speakers @tammyish.bsky.social & @manusmad.bsky.social & Birgit Peña Häufler! Excited for #CNS2026 !

Cognitive Neuroscience Society@cogneuronews.bsky.social · last yr.

Finishing strong with the final set of symposia at #CNS2025! We're in Session 11 on harnessing #VR to study memory and navigation across the lifespan, including as a potential diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's
