How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation?
#Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!
New paper out in J. Neuro! We used MEG and pattern classifiers to ask: if a memory is reactivated in the brain, does that mean you'll recall it? Short answer: no.

Predict which words participants were hearing, based upon brain activity recordings of visually seeing these items?
By definition, episodic memory is a conscious phenomenon. Memory traces reactivated by the hippocampus and reinstated in the sensory cortices need to enter conscious awareness for them to be re-experi...
🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation
1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep.

Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇
Today we celebrated the OxCIN researchers practising, promoting, and advancing Open Science. Congratulations to the OxCIN Open Science Ambassadors' Award winners @levikumle.bsky.social and @gauravbhalerao.bsky.social!

Huge congratulations to Nina and Charlotte on a successful MSci Poster Day! 🎉
After a year of hard work in the lab, it was wonderful to see them present their findings to the department yesterday.
Happy World Sleep Day! OxCIN sleep researchers are at the JR Hospital today, talking to the public about sleep research and practical tips to improve sleep habits. Read more about our studies and ways to get involved: www.win.ox.ac.uk/research/res...
📣 New paper alert! 📣
🔎 The RISES Study looked at the sleep regularity index in stroke survivors compared to people who haven't had a stroke.

😴 Sleep stabilises old memories and supports new learning. Are these benefits of sleep causally linked, driven by a common underlying mechanism, or largely independent? Our new paper digs into this important question!
