Research mission
“Exploring the neural codes of memory and perception in the real world.”
Memory isn’t just about looking back—it’s the brain’s way of looking ahead. We are an interdisciplinary cognitive neuroscience group exploring how the human brain encodes, stores, and retrieves memories, and how those memories are used to predict the future and guide behavior. Our work asks: What are the neurophysiological mechanisms of memory and prediction? In what formats are memories represented? And how do memory and prediction interact in natural, everyday environments?
To tackle these questions, we use a wide range of methods, including intracranial EEG, human single-unit recordings, scalp EEG, fMRI, and eye-tracking. We analyze these signals with advanced computational approaches such as representational similarity analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We also bring neuroscience into life-like settings by embedding our experiments within immersive Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality environments. This unique combination allows us to investigate how perception, decision-making, prediction, and memory arise from dynamic brain activity.
