While much has been learned about how circuits of neurons implement simple individual tasks, little is known about how such circuits give rise to human cognition.\u00a0 We are probing these questions by recording from populations of individual neurons in human subjects undergoing neurosurgical procedures and by developing novel computational tools to understand population codes from the point of view of neural geometries. I will discuss new insights we recently made on (i) how disentangled abstract representations in the hippocampus enable rapid learning, (ii) evidence for generative processes in visual cortex that allow us to re-live past experiences through imagination, and (iii) episodic memory formation facilitated by cognitive boundaries. Our findings reveal single-cell correlates of key aspects of human cognition and suggest specific interventions for new treatments for memory disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty Host: Dr. Daeyeol
