Come join us in Philly! I am recruiting a research assistant to join our emerging team at @JeffersonUniv. We use direct brain recording and stimulation in neurosurgical patients to study memory-related disorders. Please reach out! rb.gy/e0fkdx

Interested in using intracranial recordings and stimulation in humans to study memory, and leveraging this knowledge to treat memory-related disorders like PTSD?
I am recruiting a postdoc to our emerging interdisciplinary team at @JeffersonUniv! RTs appreciated

*VERY* excited to be featured in @SfNJournals's "This Week in The Journal" for our new work: jneurosci.org/content/44/8/e…
Will write a quick tweet thread below (with figures) to introduce what we (@KahanaMichael, @david_j_halpern, @d_schonhaut as part of the @MemoryLab) did! (1/5)

New paper with @MemoryLab, @david_j_halpern!
Free-recall paradigms are commonly used to study memory in lab settings.
How do the reliability and validity of these lab-based paradigms compare with traditional neuropsychological memory measures? Check here:

Hello everyone!
The Computational Memory Lab is recruiting subjects for an ongoing memory study! You will be compensated anywhere from $108 - $230. If you are interested follow this link redcap.link/CMLAPEMRecruitme… or send an email to [email protected] to learn more.
Thank you!

In the moments leading up to a spontaneous recollection, we were able to use neural signals to discern between correct and false memories about to be retrieved. Check out our new paper, now out in PNAS! @PNASNews ! 1/7 pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

New preprint with @MemoryLab! 📜🧠
Leveraging EEG recordings and machine learning, we designed a system to guide learning in a memory task -- modifying stimulus timing to present items when they were predicted to "stick" in a person's memory

We are excited to release the PEERS dataset on @OpenNeuroOrg !!! We hope that the @BIDSstandard format will make our data accessible to others 🤩

📈🧠EEG Data Release!!!🧠📈
@MemoryLab's data from the Penn Electrophysiology of Encoding and Retrieval Study (PEERS) is on @OpenNeuroOrg in @BIDSstandard format!!!
Feat. 364(!!) subjects performing up to 24 sessions of #memory tasks with scalp #eeg.

We used classifiers to predict memory performance over multiple items and track internal memory encoding states at the scale of minutes, arguing that the associated neural signal likely reflects a causal SME.

🚨New Paper🚨
Extremely excited that my first paper, "Hippocampal theta and episodic memory" was published today in @SfNJournals #JNeurosci !!! Many thanks to @MemoryLab and my co-authors @NoraHerweg @KahanaMichael!
TLDR: theta ~ recall
Check it out: jneurosci.org/content/43/4/6…

Interested in single neuron replay in HUMANS during sleep…and leveraging the recordings to improve memory? @ItzhakFried and I are recruiting postdocs to @UCLA for state-of-the-art translational neuroscience. Please reach out to meet @SfNtweets or set up a call.
RTs appreciated!

If you’re interested in ripples, single units, replay, brain stim to improve memory, & ☀️: @ItzhakFried and I are recruiting a postdoc @UCLA to work at the cutting edge of memory research. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch—even if your past work is nonhuman!
RTs appreciated!
Proud to report @jjsakon's new paper has been published in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
We find hippocampal--but not extrahippocampal MTL--high frequency ripples reflect the retrieval of *episodic* memories. This phenomenon is consistent with...(1/3)
...where we find ripples specifically occur when people form *episodic* memories. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
That is, ripples during word encoding promote participants subsequently recalling that word and others related to it via episodic reinstatement. It's quite a story!(3/3)
...ripples mediating an item-to-context process, since ripples occur significantly more when participants recall clusters of words with temporal and/or semantic relationships. Our follow-up manuscript--now on @biorxivpreprint--investigates ripples during memory formation...(2/3)
