Synthesizing images to map neural networks to the human brain Open
Computational models can be used to generate hypotheses about the brain. In the visual system, this approach has revealed similarities between how natural images are represented in convolutional neural networks and in cortical regions. How…

The Role of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in Neural Differentiation of Memories in the Hippocampus Open
When faced with a familiar situation, we can use memory to make predictions about what will happen next. If such predictions turn out to be erroneous, the brain can adapt by differentiating the representations of the cue from the mispredic…

Movies reveal the fine-grained organization of infant visual cortex Open
Studying infant minds with movies is a promising way to increase engagement relative to traditional tasks. However, the spatial specificity and functional significance of movie-evoked activity in infants remains unclear. Here, we investiga…

Awake infant fMRI: Insights from more than 750 scanning sessions Open
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in awake infants has the potential to reveal how the early developing brain gives rise to cognition and behavior. However, awake infant fMRI poses significant methodological challenges that have…

Sculpting new visual categories into the human brain Open
Learning requires changing the brain. This typically occurs through experience, study, or instruction. We report an alternate route for humans to acquire visual knowledge, through the direct sculpting of activity patterns in the human brai…

The role of REM sleep in neural differentiation of memories in the hippocampus Open
When faced with a familiar situation, we can use memory to make predictions about what will happen next. If such predictions turn out to be erroneous, the brain can adapt by differentiating the representations of the cues that generated th…

Inducing representational change in the hippocampus through real-time neurofeedback Open
When you perceive or remember something, other related things come to mind, affecting how these competing items are subsequently perceived and remembered. Such behavioural consequences are believed to result from changes in the overlap of …

Latent Representation Learning for Multimodal Brain Activity Translation Open
Neuroscience employs diverse neuroimaging techniques, each offering distinct insights into brain activity, from electrophysiological recordings such as EEG, which have high temporal resolution, to hemodynamic modalities such as fMRI, which…

Looking through the mind's eye via multimodal encoder-decoder networks Open
In this work, we explore the decoding of mental imagery from subjects using their fMRI measurements. In order to achieve this decoding, we first created a mapping between a subject's fMRI signals elicited by the videos the subjects watched…

A neural network model of differentiation and integration of competing memories Open
What determines when neural representations of memories move together (integrate) or apart (differentiate)? Classic supervised learning models posit that, when two stimuli predict similar outcomes, their representations should integrate. H…

Systematic 1 Hz direct electrical stimulation for seizure induction: A reliable method for localizing seizure onset zone and predicting seizure freedom Open
Induction of habitual seizures with 1 Hz stimulation can reliably identify the SOZ, correlates with excellent surgical outcome if that area is resected, and may be superior (and safer) than 50 Hz for this purpose. However, seizure inductio…

Acute stress effects on statistical learning and episodic memory Open
Stress is widely considered to negatively impact hippocampal function, thus impairing episodic memory. However, the hippocampus is not merely the seat of episodic memory. Rather, it also (via distinct circuitry) supports statistical learni…

Statistical learning in epilepsy: Behavioral and anatomical mechanisms in the human brain Open
Objective Statistical learning, the fundamental cognitive ability of humans to extract regularities across experiences over time, engages the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in the healthy brain. This leads to the hypothesis that statistical le…
