🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes.

New episode!

I talked to Roberto Bottini about cognitive maps, image spaces, how blind people have altered grid-like coding, egocentric and all-centric perspectives, some tips for grant writing & much more.

Thanks Roberto for being a guest!
