Happy to share our new opinion paper on familiarity-based memory: doi.org/10.1002/wcs.16…
I'm really excited about this work, since Tyler expands on rapid decoder calibration I explored in my PhD thesis. His approach allowed a man living with ALS to control a computer cursor with his thoughts within seconds.
New brain-computer interface preprint led by PhD student Tyler Singer-Clark! This video of a man with paralysis accurately controlling a cursor looks like something you've seen since ~2017. BUT! This is driven by multielectrode arrays in ventral (speech) motor cortex‼️ 1/
Ever wondered why some memories stick while others drift away? 🤔 Delve into the intricate world of memory with Dr. Charan Ranganath (@CharanRanganath) as we explore the interplay of memory's past, present, and future, and why forgetting is essential. #MemoryScience
I've known @sleepdiplomat for years, but this interview was our first opportunity to exchange ideas about memory at length. We had a lot of fun. He is also a terrific interviewer and got me to share a lot of stories, findings, and (informed) speculation. Check it out!

Can music help us remember? I'm featured in the latest episode of the @MaRSDD podcast Solve for X, where we talk about how music can help people living with dementia and Alzheimer's reconnect with their forgotten past. Check it out here: bit.ly/3YGWrTS

Happy 10th Birthday to our first paper on curiosity and learning!!! 🎉 Exactly ten years ago we published: States of Curiosity Modulate Hippocampus-Dependent Learning via the Dopaminergic Circuit. @CharanRanganath @NeuroCellPress cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
When we anticipate the future, the brain shows graded representations of the future & past. The scale of these representations increases systematically from lower- to higher-order regions. Proud of this work by @hannahtstoll, a collab w/ @ChrisBaldassano! nature.com/articles/s4146…
My debate with Robert Sapolsky will be recorded and available online afterwards... 😊
Looking forward to this debate on Free Will with Robert Sapolsky, next week - online, hosted by @UCD_CMB (link to follow)
Do you know what “digital amnesia” is? WHY WE REMEMBER author @charanranganath shares more in New Statesman: bit.ly/4dNsq9q
I've seen this video a zillion times (aluminum guitar aficionados love it) and it still amazes me. Unlike shredders like EVH, he's not playing with any compression, noise gates, or high gain amps. Just masterful technique and emotional expression.

It is always great to play "Age of Consent" w/ @MillerLabMIT doing @peterhook's incredible bassline. Getting to crowdsurf while singing it was a peak experience. Daniela Shiller on drums, @postlelab on guitar & @paulacroxson @Timothy_Bussey @perpl_lab on backing vox. #PavlovsDogz
