Here it comes! We show how replay can guide directed exploration, by extending the normative theory of hippocampal replay to include uncertainty. https://twitter.com/biorxiv_neursci/status/1619519696922968065

New review! Multi-species synthesis of single-neuron, LFP, EEG & behavior from human & macaques. We propose a model for how brains achieve the remarkable feat of monitoring our own performance. @brooksfu_neuro @LabSchall @stevenerrington @AmirsamanSajad

Love this link between mental navigation of problem spaces with spatial navigation! "We argue that the suddenness of insight can be related to the sudden emergence of place fields in the hippocampus."

How does the brain organize spontaneous behavior? Our latest (from the amazing @vulcnethologist @GillisDub @neurojaym), reveals a surprising role for dopamine as a teaching signal during free exploration, even without an explicit task or exogenous reward. https://go.nature.com/3we6BMS

I just finished Reading in the Brain by @StanDehaene. It's a damn good book – here's my review 1/ https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Brain-New-Science-Read/dp/0143118056
In the discussion between the value of exploration and testing some researchers like to pose the two as opposites. I've often heard people say 'but think of the lucky discovery of penicillin'. In 'Advice to a young scientist' Peter Medawar dispells this specific myth, and with it the straw man opposition of exploration and confirmation. Chance favours the prepared mind.

Interesting paper by Jinke Liu & @martin_a_vinck in @PLOSCompBiol. Applying "distance-of-distance" transformation to the pairwise distance matrix of high-dim data separates signal from noise, making all noise points (grey) cluster together. Impressive!
