New preprint! We show low arousal states promote hippocampal ripple genesis in sleep and wake. This bridges rodent work, where ripples predominate during sleep, with human studies reporting ripples during active behavior, identifying low arousal as a common mechanism www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

thrilled to share that i’ll be starting my PhD at Berkeley this fall, working with @mariamaly.bsky.social, and that I was awarded the Berkeley Fellowship to support my work! can’t wait to get started :)

Excited that this work with @rachitdubey.bsky.social and @cocoscilab.bsky.social is finally officially out!

Super excited to share this preprint! How do we disentangle underlying structure from the particular features of a learning episode to benefit future learning? We find that memory reactivation during sleep promotes this structure abstraction process. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We’ve got an exciting new thing to share! We have causal evidence (using TMR) that memory reactivation during sleep promotes abstract understanding of underlying structure, allowing transfer learning in a new domain with zero superficial feature overlap with the learned one.
