Reading specific memories from human neurons before and after sleep

2025-07-04

Abstract excerpt

The ability to retrieve a single episode encountered just once is a hallmark of human intelligence and episodic memory[1]. Yet, decoding a specific memory from neuronal activity in the human brain remains a formidable challenge. Here, we develop a transformer neural network model[2, 3] trained on neuronal spikes from intracranial microelectrodes recorded during a single viewing of an audiovisual episode. Combining...
