๐จ New preprint ๐จ Pleased to share a new collaborative paper, led by @PsychScientists, on predictive control versus prospective control in the cognitive (neuro) sciences: โPredictive vs. prospective control: Clarifying the terms of the debateโ

What might this mean for understanding the nature of traumatic memories and guiding effective trauma interventions?
"Results suggest that memories are scaffolded on a hierarchical coordinate system using common neuronal coding principles" ... as "arbitrary non-spatial sequences"
Excited to share my PhD results showing a hierarchical coordinate system for sequence memory in human EC.

Below is a thread explaining this nonsense. 1/9
Wonderful study and replication by @AnnaShpektor .
Plenty to think about and gives us exciting new ways of understanding the sensory fragmentation observed in traumatic memory.
Could just signpost the path to breakthroughs that release people from traumas crushing grip

Wonderful study shining a light on how our brain makes "images in our minds eye"
A bit late to the party, but here's a thread about our new fMRI study preprint, in which we found that V1 is not sufficient for subjective imagery experience. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/โฆ

Really important for thinking about mental health and how to treat it
Excited to present our paper in @Nature, extending noninvasive optogenetics beyond the brain to investigate an age-old question: nature.com/articles/s41586-0โฆ
With @Ritchie_Chen, @KarlDeisseroth, the D-lab team and many others!

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.๐งต1/7

๐A recipe for mental breakthroughs๐
Our new framework on sudden shifts in thinking covers phenomena from problem-solving insights to mental transformations occurring under psychedelics, in psychosis, or during meditation.

According to this meta-analysis, Anterior Insular Cortex integrates bottom-up interoceptive signals with top-down predictions to generate an emotional awareness state. Descending predictions to visceral systems provide a point of reference for autonomic reflexes ๐ง

I am very pleased to share the conversation I had with the brilliant and mighty @LFeldmanBarrett. We discuss the social construction of #emotions, predictive processing, and much more! Hope everyone enjoys this one!
