It was a pleasure working with @jsneuro.bsky.social @rhens.bsky.social @memorycontrol.bsky.social on this

‼️ CALL FOR PAPERS!

I am editing a special issue on the effects of novelty on memory for the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement.

🖐 Do you have a paper (almost) ready to submit on this topic, please check out the call for papers: link.springer.com/collections/...

📅 Deadline: October 1st, 2025

I’m excited about this collaborative project by @sunw37.bsky.social, @johanwinn.bsky.social, and many other talented contributors. Read about how our @hhmijanelia.bsky.social team imaged thousands of neurons in mouse hippocampus as mice learned cognitive tasks over several days: hhmi.news/4hXIp7r

In a recent article in BBS Murayama and
Jach suggest that we should unpack the black box and look at motivated behavior as the outcome of mental computational processes. Franz Wurm, Ineke van der Ham and I believe that this approach is too limited: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Thanks Alex!

Paper alert!

In our new paper "Towards a characterization of human spatial exploration behavior" in BRM, we introduce a novel, fine-grained approach to analyse 3D exploration behavior.

We tested our method in a sample of n >400, and validated it on the Silcton dataset.

I am devastated to share the news that Professor Eleanor Maguire has died at the age of 51 after 3 operations and proton beam therapy for a spinal tumour. She was internationally renowned for her work on navigation, episodic memory and brain plasticity. #neuroscience #psychology

Together with Ineke van der Ham, Jos van der Hage, and Angus Mol, we received a Grassfields grant to create a 3D-learning platform called SpatialMind to promote spatial abilities!

We are still looking for a researcher for this project. Let me know if you are interested!
