How does previous decision impacts current decision? We find reactivation of past decision repels early sensory processing but attracts late decision-making in PFC, i.e., two-stage past-present interactions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Big congrats Huihui Zhang Minghao Luo

Preprint alert👇: Sisi Wang and I studied how attentional focusing in working memory benefits long-term memory. Take-home: we show that faster attentional allocation during working memory instils stronger long-term memories, as revealed through gaze: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Temporal structure of experience etched on firing of human hippocampal-entorhinal neurons to serve memory & prediction. See our study nature at UCLA Neurosurgery 🧠, great work by lead author Pawel Tacikowski with Guldamla Kalender & Davide Ciliberti support NINDS. nature.com/articles/s4158…

#GazeReinstatement & #NeuralReactivation may be linked through a common process that reinstates past experiences during #MemoryRetrieval! doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Check out our #Preprint that integrates #EyeTracking into the Sherlock #fMRI Dataset (Postdoc work w/Chris Baker)!

Our latest findings that help appreciate why microsaccades and attention shifts are often correlated but not obligatorily linked: attention shifts do not cause new microsaccades but exclusively bias the direction of microsaccades that happen to be made when shifting attention.

🚨Two new preprints from the lab! (part 1) Preprint 1: doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… In this work led by Sisi Wang, we uncover an underexplored component of visual search by studying how people “look into their memory” to verify (confirm/dismiss) potential visual targets.

🚨Two new preprints from the lab! (part 2) Preprint 2: doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… In this work led by Baiwei Liu, we studied the relation between microsaccades and the N2pc EEG marker of spatial attention, showing how microsaccades strongly modulate but do not cause the N2pc.

Happy to see this paper finally out now in PBR! Psychonomic Society In it we ask whether statistical learning can occur for unattended items: it is already well known that learning can alter attention, but does attention also alter learning? rdcu.be/dY7L3

📢 Check out our (Sage Boettcher, @Chetan_Gohil, Freek van Ede, Kia Nobre) latest publication in PNASNews on the neural dynamics associated with shifting attention within vs. between external and internal attention. (🧵 below) (1|6) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Reviewers take note: 57% of people rejected their own argument when they thought it was someone else's. So take it easy with the criticism.

📢 Check out our (Larissa Behnke, Freek van Ede, Kia Nobre, Sage Boettcher) latest preprint on the neural dynamics of returning to an internal focus in working memory after engaging with an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|5) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Writing is thinking

Excited to share our paper w/ Chris Baker in Nature Communications linking active vision & memory! We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 1/9

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

The human-neuroscience N2pc marker of covert and internal attention co-occurs with spatial biases in microsaccades, 200-300 ms after prompted to shift attention. How are these empirical phenomena related? Check it out in the latest work led by Baiwei Liu: doi.org/10.1371/journa…
