Feedback signals in visual cortex during episodic and schematic memory retrieval and their potential implications for aphantasia

Published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023

This study explores how feedback signals from episodic and schematic memory retrieval travel through the visual cortex, with implications for understanding memory deficits in aphantasia.

Not What U Expect: Effects of Prediction Errors on Item Memory

Published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2023

This study investigates how prediction errors impact item memory, revealing an inverted U-shape function with better memory performance for intermediate levels of prediction error.
