We’re excited to share that members of the SCANN Lab will be presenting two posters (as part of the Sketchpad Series!) at #CNS2026!
Previews are below and here: scannlab.org/cns-2026
Drop by and say hello if you’re at CNS!

Awesome work, using RT modelling to show clear prioritisation of semantic features during WM maintenance! Especially for information that had fallen outside the focus of attention ➡️ more evidence that “silent” WM traces behave like episodic memory.
CfA: Workshop “Philosophical Issues in Neural Computation” (@ruhr-uni-bochum.de) Jun 2–3 2026.
Deadline: March 31.
Further Speakers: @adriendoerig.bsky.social, @francesegan.bsky.social, @olivia.science, @gualtiero.bsky.social, @seelikat.bsky.social, Oron Shagrir.

I'm not gonna touch most of this but two things:
1. The apprenticeship model of science was never supposed to be about the PI's workflow. The point isn't to have research assistants to help to publish stuff faster. Training the next generation researcher *is* the point. Because we care. Allegedly.
Human hippocampal theta–gamma coupling coordinates sequential planning during navigation
Impressive study from Dan Bush's Lab at UCL:

1/6 Happy to share our new paper with @grassocamille.bsky.social and @virginievanw.bsky.social: "Nested contextual change and the temporal compression of episodic memory". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Are episodic and semantic memory really that different? Using closely matched tasks, we found no substantial neural differences between recalling personal experiences and general knowledge: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02390-4
How do we balance external attention to the outside world and internal attention to our thoughts & memories?
We review evidence that external and internal attention can compete, unfold concurrently, or cooperate!
Loved working on this with @samversc.bsky.social & @tobiasegner.bsky.social!
Congrats Daniel!

@exppsychsoc.bsky.social has grindley grants for attending EPS conferences, but you can apply once to use one at a non-EPS meeting I believe
Well there's a graph for you.
I believe there is a single purpose to science: to keep me employed, busy, and happy (or is that three purposes?)
Hippocampal trace coding dominates and disrupts place coding https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.17.706430v1
This looks great - really looking forward to reading it!

Just realised Cool Runnings was released 33 years ago. The equivalent 33 year old film when it was released would be Psycho or Spartacus. Bet you are feeling old now.

Clemency Cooper’s PhD research aims to understand how perceptions of the landscape have shaped the North York Moors, and how evidence of past change might influence decisions about its future character.

Starting my Memory & The Brain module for the 10th time this year! Always a bit of anxiety before I start, but then it's always enjoyable and the students are always engaged.
