We use a combination of mathematical, computational and behavioral tools to evaluate our hypotheses. The topics we investigate are centered on episodic memory, the ability we have to remember specific events situated in a particular spatiotemporal context. At present, our efforts are focused on developing and evaluating a unified mathematical framework to describe how the brain constructs the spatial and temporal context believed to underlie episodic memory. This model appears to have far-ranging implications, leading to research interests in statistical learning, semantic memory, time perception, and reward systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1919,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1919"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3295,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2115\/revisions\/3295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
