Effects of face repetition on ventral visual stream connectivity using dynamic causal modelling of fMRI data (2022)
Journal Article
Lee, S. M., Tibon, R., Zeidman, P., Yadav, P. S., & Henson, R. (2022). Effects of face repetition on ventral visual stream connectivity using dynamic causal modelling of fMRI data. NeuroImage, 264, Article 119708. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119708

Stimulus repetition normally causes reduced neural activity in brain regions that process that stimulus. Some theories claim that this “repetition suppression” reflects local mechanisms such as neuronal fatigue or sharpening within a region, whereas...

Fade in, fade out: Do shifts in visual perspective predict the consistency of real-world memories? (2022)
Working Paper
Wardell, V., Jameson, T. J., Bontkes, O., Le, M. L., Duan, T., St. Jacques, P. L., …Palombo, D. Fade in, fade out: Do shifts in visual perspective predict the consistency of real-world memories?

Memories of our personal past are not exact accounts of what occurred. Instead, memory reconstructs the past in adaptive–though not always faithful–ways. Using a naturalistic design, here we asked how the visual perspective adopted in the mind’s eye...
