🧠New preprint!
We used human intracranial EEG pharmacology to test a core question in memory research: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval?
Turns out it’s not—and may instead reflect a reinstated encoding mode.

In analyses led by @ZabehErfan, we also show that neural dynamics under cholinergic blockade can be decoded from low-dimensional features of LFPs across electrodes.

Bottom line:
📉 Theta ≠Retrieval
📈 Theta = Encoding/Updating
This subtle but important shift reframes how we think about the neural basis of memory, and why cholinergic drugs help some processes and not others.

The link for this position had gone down for a bit; it's back up, and I am still looking for a postdoc excited to work with human intracranial data.
Well-suited for animal electrophysiologists to jump to human data; all that's needed is coding and signal processing experience!

Endocisternal minimally invasive #neural interfaces ⚡
Researchers at @utmbhealth and @RiceUniversity led by @PeterKa80460001 and @JTRobinsonLab implanted a neural interface through a cistern and showed modulation, recording, and explantation!

Check out our (w/ @neurojosh) new Essay on invasive brain stimulation for memory modulation in @PLOSBiology’s collection on #neurotechnology! plos.io/4eayRmZ
4 Nov 2024
As part of our #neurotechnology collection, this Essay by @uma_r_mohan & @neurojosh discusses why brain stimulation for memory loss shows variable success, and suggests developing customized stimulation protocols for more consistent memory enhancement.

Delighted to announce our latest work in @NatureHumBehav. While watching movies, theta phase precession is triggered by cognitive boundaries. Strength of precession predicts strength of memory formed. @Zjmay1 @gkreiman @CedarsSinai @CaltechN nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

📜🎉 I have a new preprint: a systematic review of clinical investigations of aperiodic activity!
I reviewed 143 reports from across 35 disorders, to summarize current results, evaluate current practices, and make some recommendations for future work:
