Our paper on an entorhinal grid-like representation of an abstract value space with @mona_garvert @jacobbellmund @nico_schuck @doellerlab is now out in @NatureComms! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our review, w. @ShanyGrossman (shared 1st!) and @nico_schuck where we discuss representational spaces in OFC/vmPFC and in deep RL models, featuring values, states and much more! cell.com/trends/neurosc…. Fresh from the (virtual) print now in @TrendsNeuro , 1/4

Our new preprint is live: We show that the anterior hippocampus integrates episodic and spatial context signals - work together with @Naomis_brain @mona_garvert @doellerlab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One of my PhD projects is online! We show that category prototypes correspond to interpolated states in a cognitive map that guide cortical pattern completion during category-based decisions. w/ Mirko Thalmann, @cpilab, @doellerlab, @ThevesStephanie biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wie gelingt es unserem #Gehirn, in Entscheidungssituationen gute Vorhersagen zu treffen und die beste Option für die #Zukunft zu wählen? @NitschAlex & Christian Doeller @doellerlab sind gemeinsam mit @nico_schuck dieser Frage in @NatureComms nachgegangen: tinyurl.com/yzyyz5sf

Attending #SfN23 in DC and interested in our work on grid-like coding of an abstract value space? Come by to chat at my poster VV32 today (Wed) 8-12. @mona_garvert @jacobbellmund @nico_schuck @doellerlab

Our new preprint is live: We show that the entorhinal cortex uses a grid-like representation to encode an abstract value space during prospective decision making - work together with @mona_garvert @jacobbellmund @nico_schuck @doellerlab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

There has been a lot of progress in our understanding of how the brain organises relationships in cognitive maps. But how is this knowledge used when guiding novel choice? Work with @TankredSaanum, @cpilab, @nico_schuck & @doellerlab now in @NatureNeuro rdcu.be/c83tL

Attending #OHBM2022 in Glasgow and interested in learning more about an entorhinal grid code supporting prospective value-based decision making? Check out my poster MT593 with @mona_garvert @jacobbellmund @nico_schuck @doellerlab today (Mon) at 12:15 & tomorrow (Tue) at 01:00!

How do we represent values to guide prospective decision making? Check out the poster by @NitschAlex @mona_garvert @nico_schuck at #SfN21!

#DeepMReye is out! Use #deeplearning to perform #eyetracking in #fMRI without camera! nature.com/articles/s4159… @CYHSM & I are thrilled to finally share our Code + Data + Notebooks + User Documentation + Paper @NatureNeuro! With @doellerlab @KISNeuro @MPI_CBS Thread below!👇1/7

Excited about our new preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Here, we investigate how multiple hippocampal cognitive maps are used for generalization, and the role the orbitofrontal cortex plays in updating hippocampal world models competing for behavioral control.

Excited to share work w/ @nico_schuck out now in @NatureComms! 💫 We introduce a new fMRI analysis method to decode fast neural event sequences and report replay in visual cortex following a non-mnemonic task! 🧠 - 📜 Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146… - 🧵 Thread below! 👇 [1/n]

Integrating episodic and spatial information in the hippocampus? We combine a life-simulation game and navigation in a virtual city with fMRI to study neural processing of episodic and spatial memory. Come and chat with @NitschAlex at #SfN19 board BB78 today 8-12. @Naomis_brain

Slide deck from recent @CompCogNeuro Tutorial with @behrenstimb on "Representing States and Spaces." 4.5 hours, ~200 slides and we covered almost 2/3 of them! A public-speaking Everest :) 1/3 neurokim.com/2019/09/13/rep…

Had a wonderful time in Nijmegen during the (f)MRI toolkit @DondersInst w/ colleagues @reisner_v @MarcoBadwal, @FFDeilmann, @NitschAlex & Artem Karew: Neuroimaging, the Waal & Pannenkoeken!
