Our new paper, now published in Cell Reports, asks how the brain adaptively shapes its representations according to the statistical structure of the environment to overcome the limits of working memory capacity.

Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv! @doellerlab.bsky.social
We show that eye-movement sequences actively organize information by aligning with underlying structure and flexibly adapting to cognitive demands in working memory.

Happy to share our new preprint. We found that brain adaptively switches between relational and item-based coding strategies based on the structure of memory contents.

Our new paper, now published in @natcomms.nature.com , asks a simple question: when two tasks share a common structure, does the brain learn them more efficiently? Surprisingly, this was not the case. Thread below (1/7)

🚨 New preprint! Impact of Task Similarity and Training Regimes on Cognitive Transfer and Interference 🧠
We compare humans and neural networks in a learning task, showing how training regime and task similarity interact to drive transfer or interference.

New preprint from the lab and great work by Fei Wang. We show how subiculum trace vector cells can be modeled consistent with known effects in CA1. Traces are driven by a mismatch learning rule to keep associative memories in line with experience.

1/N: Dear colleagues, I would like to share a new paper on the subiculum, part of my PhD with the Neural Computation Group @andrejbicanski.bsky.social @mpicbs.bsky.social . We present “A theory of subicular function and generalized vector coding” that we call Disco. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors show learning tasks with similar structures can initially cause interference and slow down learning, but both the brain and artificial networks gradually...
Learning depends not only on the content of what we learn, but also on how we learn and on how experiences are structured over time. To investigate how task similarity and training regime interact dur...
Huang et al. show that the brain optimizes working memory by compressing information

In the classical view of hippocampal function, the subiculum is assigned the role as the output layer. In spatial paradigms, some subiculum neurons manifest as so-called boundary vector cells (BVCs), ...
