fMRI shows that semantic representations in left fusiform bias visual memory toward false recognition, whereas perceptual representations in right fusiform support true recognition and reduce false memory. Distinct hippocampal pathways push memory toward generalization or detail.

📢New preprint out on False Memory! With co-authors: Safak Erener, Simon W David, and @RobertoECabeza When knowledge interferes with perception: Neural mechanisms of the semantic amplification of visual false memory Preprint at: doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

Our data suggests that older adults with lower specificity of visual representations in EVC in combination with higher specificity of semantic representations in FG tended to rate their memories as more vivid, thus potentially compensating for age-related dedifferentiation in EVC

Our fMRI study with @RobertoECabeza and co-author @C_Stensholt,@AnnaElsa06,Zach Monge has now been accepted for publication into Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals. You can find a pretty version of the accepted version here at osf.io/jd295/

You can find our preprint on BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am glad to announce this new preprint with @RobertoECabeza and co-author @C_Stensholt @AnnaElsa06, Zach Monge! 📢📣📢 "Effects of aging on successful object encoding: Enhanced semantic representations compensate for impaired visual representations" 🇩🇪🇺🇸

Do not miss the workshop tomorrow @mpib_berlin Study 1- fMRI.Semantic kmowledge at encoding eliminates age differences in true recognition through compensation. Study 2- fMRI. Is semantic processing at encoding causing false memory in aging?revisiting Koutstaal (2003)'s SCA idea

Cabeza Lab Dinner in Berlin Such a cool team :)

@julialexabaum @AbdelRahman_Lab @froemero1 Good luck Julia :) enjoy

Interested in the role of emotion in social misinformation and gossip? Come by my talk in the session 13 to 14:30 at room 5.15 #ESCAN2022

@HGellersen @js_simons Congratulations :)

Cannot believe the day is finally here! I could not have wished for a better lab for this amazing journey. Thanks so much @js_simons for being a brilliant supervisor and to all current and past members of the Memlab for all their support! 🍾🎉👩🏼‍🔬👩‍🎓

🧠Almost ready for #ICON2022 @ICON2022FIN ! Excited to finally do our symposium 2 years late!! ICONistas - join us Friday 9am to hear about #multivariate #mvpa approaches to cog/brain ageing with @Christi99886417 and @joshuadkoen and thx to original organiser @myriam_sander 🧠

🧠Berlin in San Francisco🧠for #CNS2022 *A103, Sat 4/23, 3:30-5:30pm*. We used RSA to investigate the contributions of visual and semantic information to later recall of everyday objects in young and older adults. Come to know more about it! @C_Stensholt @RobertoECabeza

🧠🧠🤩The @CNSmtg #CNS2022 @CogNeuroNews is almost here! My brilliant PhD student @moccia_arianna will be presenting cool new EEG memory decoding data in San Francisco! She would love to network + meet you - go see the poster and say hello! More soon 🤩🧠🧠 gratuitous gif 👇

@AnnaElsa06 @myriam_sander @mpib_berlin Congratulations Anna

Their investment is paying off, particularly for the PM as they have refused to investigate several complaints against him now.

New preprint from our lab! Target-lure similarity is a much stronger predictor of lure false alarms in the mnemonic similarity task than poor encoding at study. Eye movements at encoding predict hippocampal activation at test for correct but not incorrect lure discrimination.

We have a new preprint! Across three experiments, we found that Active Recognition Attempts Induce Updating of Face Memories. psyarxiv.com/63qnj/ via @OSFramework with @MattP_NeuroPsyc @RHellerstedt @js_simons and Stuart Gibson

@Dan_Mirman Congratulations Dan

I'm very excited to join a journal that has played such a big role in my thinking about cognitive neuroscience and about meta-science issues like reproducibility and transparency

My paper with @alexa_morcom and co-authors @PaulHoffman82 & @barryjdevereux is now out in Journal of Neuroscience. The accepted version is also available on OSF, link below jneurosci.org/content/41/40/…
