The 2-feature Simultaneous Type/ Serial Token Model of temporal feature conjunctions: Successes are merely fortunate conjunctions.
Mahan N. G. Hosseini, Alon Zivony, Martin Eimer A…·Howard Bowman
The paper introduces the 2f-ST2 model to explain temporal feature conjunctions and distractor intrusion errors in perception, showing it can simulate behavioral and electrophysiological results without parameter changes.

Headache-specific Hyperexcitation Sensitises and Habituates on different Time Scales: An Event Related Potential study of Pattern-Glare
Cihan Dogan, Claire E. Miller, Tom Jefferis…·Howard Bowman
The paper examines ERP responses to pattern-glare stimuli in a healthy population, finding hyperexcitability in the visual cortex linked to migraine susceptibility and differing habituation/sensitization dynamics.

The Missing Memory Imprint
Howard Bowman, ARTHUR Alfred ASSANT, Alberto Avilés
The paper demonstrates that the brain efficiently detects targets but does not form strong memory traces of distractors, supporting theories of late attentional selection and tokenized percept theory.

Hippocampal neurons code individual episodic memories in humans
Luca D. Kolibius, Frédéric Roux, George Parish…·Simon Hanslmayr
The paper identifies hippocampal neurons that code for discrete episodic memories using rate or temporal firing codes, rather than individual elements within an episode.

Modelling the Replay of Dynamic Memories from Cortical Alpha Oscillations with the Sync-Fire / deSync Model.
George Parish, Sebastian Michelmann, Simon Hanslmayr, Howard Bowman
The paper introduces a neural network model to simulate how cortical alpha oscillations regulate memory replay by disrupting rhythms to detect temporal sequences.

Aging Reduces EEG Markers of Recognition Despite Intact Performance: Implications for Forensic Memory Detection
Robin Hellerstedt, Arianna Moccia, Chloe M. Brunskill…·Zara M. Bergström
The paper shows that aging reduces EEG markers of recognition in forensic memory detection tasks, despite similar behavioral performance, suggesting limitations in using EEG for forensic assessments in older adults.

How hot is the hot zone? Computational modelling clarifies the role of parietal and frontoparietal connectivity during anaesthetic-induced loss of consciousness
Riku Ihalainen, Olivia Gosseries, Frederik Van de Steen…·Srivas Chennu
This paper uses computational modeling to show that changes in posterior hot zone and frontoparietal connectivity during propofol anaesthesia correlate with loss of consciousness.

Incentive value and spatial certainty combine additively to determine visual priorities
Kelly Garner, Howard Bowman, Jane E. Raymond
The paper tests whether incentive value and spatial certainty combine additively or multiplicatively to influence visual selection, finding support for an additive combination.

Strategic and non-strategic semantic expectations hierarchically modulate neural processing
Consuelo Vidal-Gran, Rodika Sokoliuk, Howard Bowman, Damian Cruse
The paper investigates hierarchical semantic expectations in language comprehension using EEG, finding early ERP effects reflecting local prediction errors and later signals related to global context and conscious access.

Sedation modulates fronto-temporal predictive coding circuits and the double surprise acceleration effect
Adrien Witon, Amirali Shirazibehehsti, Jennifer Cooke…·Howard Bowman
The paper investigates how sedation with propofol affects predictive coding circuits and the double surprise acceleration effect using EEG source localization in a local-global task.

I TRIED A BUNCH OF THINGS: THE DANGERS OF UNEXPECTED OVERFITTING IN CLASSIFICATION
Michael A. Powell, Mahan N. G. Hosseini, John James Collins…·Brad Wyble
The paper demonstrates how overfitting through hyperparameter tuning can lead to non-generalizable results in machine learning, despite cross-validation, and suggests safeguards to prevent this.

Speed of time-compressed forward replay flexibly changes in human episodic memory
Sebastian Michelmann, Bernhard P. Staresina, Howard Bowman, Simon Hanslmayr
The paper shows that human episodic memory replay involves temporally compressed forward replay of sub-events, with flexible skipping across transitions.

Recovery after stroke: not so proportional after all?
Thomas M.H. Hope, Karl John Friston, Cathy J. Price…·Howard Bowman
The paper challenges the proportional recovery rule by showing that baseline score correlations can mislead about outcome predictability in stroke recovery.

Replay of Stimulus Specific Temporal Patterns during Associative Memory Formation
Sebastian Michelmann, Howard Bowman, Simon Hanslmayr
The paper shows that associating a static cue with a dynamic stimulus creates a dynamic memory representation in working memory, linked to decreased low-frequency EEG power across visual and auditory domains.
