We used classifiers to predict memory performance over multiple items and track internal memory encoding states at the scale of minutes, arguing that the associated neural signal likely reflects a causal SME.

...where we find ripples specifically occur when people form *episodic* memories. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… That is, ripples during word encoding promote participants subsequently recalling that word and others related to it via episodic reinstatement. It's quite a story!(3/3)
...ripples mediating an item-to-context process, since ripples occur significantly more when participants recall clusters of words with temporal and/or semantic relationships. Our follow-up manuscript--now on @biorxivpreprint--investigates ripples during memory formation...(2/3)

Proud to report @jjsakon's new paper has been published in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… We find hippocampal--but not extrahippocampal MTL--high frequency ripples reflect the retrieval of *episodic* memories. This phenomenon is consistent with...(1/3)

Using our model of episodic memory, we find the recursive nature of memory offers a novel account of depression, PTSD, and responses to therapy. memory.psych.upenn.edu/files…. Excited to have this published in Psych Review!
