Excited to present our new work reading minds!

Ok, not *that* kind of mind reading, but we have created a deep learning method capable of using single neuron recordings from people watching episodes of TV that can predict when they recall specific memories from the episode. 1/6

After you fall asleep in the sleep lab, we can decide what you dream about — as Karen Konkoly showed in her PhD work and just published in this new paper:
“Investigating dreams by strategically presenting sounds during REM sleep to reactivate waking experiences”

Q: Does eyes-closed rest similarly increase false recall?

A: No.
