Fresh off the press! I'm proud to share that we have two new papers out now in Cerebral Cortex! See thread below to learn more about what we’ve uncovered in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (1/4) tinyurl.com/3d3bwpxx tinyurl.com/42mnhmhv

Our Feature Review is out today Trends in Cognitive Sciences 🥳 Why am I so excited about it? (1/n) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Memory scientists Morgan Barense, @_chris__martin_ and colleagues have shown their HippoCamera app being developed at University of Toronto can improve memory recall by as much as 50% and could benefit people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. 1/2 Learn more: bit.ly/3H9fnlz

Thank you Ismaila Alfa and Metro Morning for coming by the lab to talk about our research and to peek at your hippocampus! Bryan Hong and I had a great time. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Excited to announce our new preprint: “Improving Memory Search through Model-Based Cue Selection” with Charlotte Cornell, Norman Lab, and Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab! Preprint link: psyarxiv.com/atqs7 (thread 1/5)

Preparations for SPRINT 2023 are in motion and we're currently recruiting Undergraduate Volunteers for this year's program! See full details and apply via forms.gle/xSqhZC7FD2Qaan… by March 8, 2023 at 5PM (ET).

I'm so excited this is out!! We wrote a review about how the nature of statistical learning may change with development. Feeling very lucky to have had the dream team of mentors to think (and write) about these issues with ⭐️ Amy Finn Meg Schlichting Duncan Lab

My big postdoc project with Charan Ranganath is officially out in Nature Communications! We analyzed this dataset to death, and I know many of you have seen some version of it a bunch over the past few years, but it's nice to see the final version out 🙂 nature.com/articles/s4146…

What is the nature and function of replay? We are excited to propose a memory-focused model that unifies a wide array of findings, including ones unaccounted for by prior models as well as evidence previously taken as diagnostic of value-based RL accounts. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint! Non-episodic autobiographical memory details reflect attempts to tell a good story (in both young and older adults) psyarxiv.com/9s634 Thread:

Huge data release! Proud to be part of a collab to create a dataset of conversations, published in Science Advances. Findings just scratch the surface of what can be learned—eg, a consistent improvement in mood after a conversation with a stranger! buff.ly/3ZM7EQz

Applications for SPRINT 2023 are now officially open! If you are an Ontarian high school student interested in psychology and research, this is the perfect opportunity for you 🥼💖 Click the link in our bio to learn more and apply to the program by May 31, 2023!

Friends of the #learningsalon, John W. Krakauer Melanie Sutton Claire 👩🏻‍💻 🧠 & I are excited to have a prominent memory researcher & a creator of Hippocamera: Dr. Morgan Barense talk to us about Hippocamera hippocamera.com Friday, May 5, 4PM ET crowdcast.io/e/learningsalon Join us!

Why (and when) does this happen? In our recent paper (Christopher Honey Abhijit Mahabal) we propose psychological momentum: the idea, analogous to physical momentum, that mental states can have the potential to carry forward for minutes or longer - even if we don't want them to.

I recently wrote a short article about our lab's approaches to addressing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Alzheimer’s Disease in the State of California. Check it out here. linkedin.com/pulse/addressi…

Wonder what 2020 did to your memory or sense of time? 🚨 Now out in PNASNews 🚨 we tracked how collective events and individuals’ emotional state (sampled throughout 2020) shaped spontaneous autobiographical memory across 3 years in the same ~1000 participants. (1/9)

Presented our latest HippoCamera findings in patients with transient epileptic amnesia at #INS2024inNYC!! Thanks to all who stopped by and special thanks to an amazing research team Katrina Thornber, Morgan Barense, Chris Butler, Bryan Hong, Adam Zeman, and Eliza McCann!

Excited to share that my first paper is now out in Memory, work with Morgan Barense! So grateful to have had such a wonderful and fun undergrad thesis and paper writing experience, and for all the support that made this paper possible! 🗺️🖼️ tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

One of the sweetest interactions I’ve had was with one of the elders at art class who gave me a hug & told me how much she loved TVO.me 🥰 Yesterday #TVOTheThread spent the day University Health Network with researchers AGE-WELL on how tech can improve quality of life for alz & dementia patients

So much cool work to see at #CNS2024! Here are our lab projects and broader collaborations. Please come by to check them out, or send me a message if you'd like to hear more!
