Interested in using intracranial recordings and stimulation in humans to study memory, and leveraging this knowledge to treat memory-related disorders like PTSD? I am recruiting a postdoc to our emerging interdisciplinary team at @JeffersonUniv! RTs appreciated

*VERY* excited to be featured in @SfNJournals's "This Week in The Journal" for our new work: jneurosci.org/content/44/8/e… Will write a quick tweet thread below (with figures) to introduce what we (@KahanaMichael, @david_j_halpern, @d_schonhaut as part of the @MemoryLab) did! (1/5)

New paper with @MemoryLab, @david_j_halpern! Free-recall paradigms are commonly used to study memory in lab settings. How do the reliability and validity of these lab-based paradigms compare with traditional neuropsychological memory measures? Check here: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-…

In the moments leading up to a spontaneous recollection, we were able to use neural signals to discern between correct and false memories about to be retrieved. Check out our new paper, now out in PNAS! @PNASNews ! 1/7 pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

New preprint with @MemoryLab! 📜🧠 Leveraging EEG recordings and machine learning, we designed a system to guide learning in a memory task -- modifying stimulus timing to present items when they were predicted to "stick" in a person's memory doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.25.5… 1/

Interested in single neuron replay in HUMANS during sleep…and leveraging the recordings to improve memory? @ItzhakFried and I are recruiting postdocs to @UCLA for state-of-the-art translational neuroscience. Please reach out to meet @SfNtweets or set up a call. RTs appreciated!

If you’re interested in ripples, single units, replay, brain stim to improve memory, & ☀️: @ItzhakFried and I are recruiting a postdoc @UCLA to work at the cutting edge of memory research. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch—even if your past work is nonhuman! RTs appreciated!

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)

Come work with us at the Computational Memory Lab at UPenn! wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/… Searching for a PhD-level project manager to help us run *very exciting* human brain stimulation experiments to ameliorate memory dysfunction. Happy to answer any questions shoot me a DM!!

Excited to share my first work in the @MemoryLab, where we find (using intracranial data from 219 participants!) hippocampal ripples signal retrieval of episodic memories. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… To look cool on twitter, we pre-registered our study osf.io/y5zwt (1/2)
