this is mind-blowing work; it looks at one of the most robust effects in cogsci, takes a super intuitive theory that some (i.e., me) assumed to be true, and carefully introduces controls to falsify it. please read! https://twitter.com/sparuniisc/status/1606639090862260224

Mariam @mariam_s_aly discusses the many faces of the hippocampus, and how memory and attention and perception shape each other.

We also talk about the mental health challenges she faced during graduate school. I'm grateful she shared her story.

📢We are looking for a research technician!

Join us for an exciting translational project on autoimmune psychosis. I promise that we will refrain from wearing silly party props (until the next @TheCrick holiday party).

in 1992 I organised the first UCL Psych dept Christmas pantomime, starring @JohnDraper8 @tom_hartley @CeliaHeyes and many many more (e.g. Tim Shallice is the pantomime cow). @TomManly1 and I did the music. And lo! just 30 years later I have scored a copy of the video.

@Wokkinho @smfleming @criticalneuro @behrenstimb @YunzheNeuro Also just remembered this interesting paper that describes slow and fragmented "replay", which could better reflect what's going on in rumination https://elifesciences.org/articles/64505

RT @criticalneuro
Question about replay & rumination:
Some assume rumination = replay.

But it seems to me that rumination content reaches consciousness but replay need not be.
Does someone study/model that difference?
If rumination = replay + X,
what is X? Conscious, cortex-driven, self-related?

RT @toby_wise
@smfleming @criticalneuro @behrenstimb There's also evidence of slower ~160ms cycles from @YunzheNeuro (https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.abf1357) which might be an interesting candidate. Also slower theta sweeps in rodents are interesting, they're more local but maybe rats just tend to "think" more locally than humans? 🐀

In our new pre-print, my great collaborators @marion_rouault, @RuthJvanHolst, @JudyLuig and I investigated metacognitive functioning across various hierarchical levels in OCD patients and highly-compulsive individuals from the general population https://psyarxiv.com/fb32r (1/9)
