Thanks to the organizers of the 10th International Symposium on Brain and Cognitive Science for a fun meeting. Burhan Bağlar, Sinem Subaşı, and Yaren Kaynar did a wonderful job presenting their work despite being swamped with final projects and presentations. Well done! See our posters below.
Excited to share our new review paper! Episodic memories comprise segmented units. The role of working memory (WM) in such segmentation is implemented but not sufficiently studied. We explore the potential roles of WM and attention in event segmentation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
So proud of you✨✨
Many thanks to @erengunseli.bsky.social for providing great mentorship, and to Zeynep Adıgüzel and Bilge Uysal for their support and roles in developing super cool ideas ✨
We also propose possible underlying mechanisms and experimental predictions to test these models
📣New paper alert! We discuss the role of working memory in event segmentation. We propose accumulation and reactivation models that explain how working memory may be accumulating memoranda within events and reactivating memoranda at event boundaries www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
New paper alert! Congrats to Yağmur D. Şentürk and Nursima Ünver for constructing a complex design & collecting 65 EEG datasets (each 4 hours)!🎉Our study reveals that switching to a new task rule triggers memory reactivation of previously learned items. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iIjT2VHY8...
Please spread the word! A 24-month postdoc position is available in my lab. A 12-month extension may be possible. Experience in coding and data analysis is needed. Knowledge of memory, attention, or a related topic is preferred. Please get in touch via email if interested! gunselilab.com
Exciting News! Our new review paper explores the impact of divided attention on episodic memory retrieval, a topic with mixed findings. Often, studies discuss the relationship between attention and retrieval as if each is a unitary phenomenon. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Event segmentation—continuous experiences divided into distinct memory units. But what fuels this process? Our study compares two theories: prediction error and contextual stability. We found that transitions across stable contexts matter more. osf.io/preprints/ps...
