Event networks and the neural representations that support real-world memory
Project Summary Memory systems evolved to inform the continual learning and decision making of organisms as they explore and engage with an enormously complicated world. Humans in particular have a remarkable ability to recount complex sequences of events: we can easily reconstruct a narrative about the past hour or day purely from memory. In such real-world remembering, semantic and causal associations become exceedingly important, defining a web of relational connections across time to guide recall.
