How does the brain transform experiences into memories, and how does memory influence experience? We study how attention and perception affect what we remember, and
how memory can in turn guide our attention, perception, and goal-directed behavior.
the latest news
How do we balance paying attention to the external world around us vs. our internal thoughts and memories? Congratulations to Craig for his preprint investigating how hippocampal networks switch between these modes. Check out his preprint on our Publications page!
Congratulations to Paul, whose Registered Report was just accepted at Memory! This study investigated the effects of music on autobiographical memory retrieval – check it out on our Publications page!
How are neural signatures of sensory uncertainty translated to subjective ratings of curiosity? Congratulations to Mike for his preprint on the network mechanisms of perceptual curiosity! Check out his preprint on our Publications page!
Congrats to Zall for his 4-experiment paper on how long-term memory and working memory compete and cooperate to guide attention! Is working memory more distracting? Check out the paper (Publications page) to find out!
Congrats to Manasi and Chinmayi for their 4-experiment preprint on how attentional fluctuations influence (or don't influence!) the temporal organization of memory. The results will shock you! You can find the paper on our Publications page.
our philosophy
We like to do good science and have fun. At the same time, but also separately.
We are strongly committed to providing a positive, supportive lab environment. To learn more, read our lab manual.
