🚨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.

新年快乐，马年吉祥
Wishing all who are celebrating a happy and prosperous #LunarNewYear.
Here’s to a year of energy, progress and new beginnings.

Excited to introduce Dreamer 4, an agent that learns to solve complex control tasks entirely inside of its scalable world model! 🌎🤖
Dreamer 4 pushes the frontier of world model accuracy, speed, and learning complex tasks from offline datasets.
co-led with @wilson1yan

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time!

Static networks are good but how about their dynamics? (nothing is static in the brain)
They temporally cycle.

Very happy to share my first preprint from Oxford EP @OxNeuro ! We (me + co-first authors @lilwebian Miruna Rascu + PI Miriam Klein-Flügge + many others) used transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS/tFUS/LIFU) of the human amygdala ... (1/15)
