How the human brain reconstructs, step-by-step, the core elements of past experiences is still unclear. Here, we map the spatio-temporal trajectories along which visual object memories are reconstructed during associative recall. Specifically, we inquire whether retrieval reinstates feature representations in a copy-like but reversed direction with respect to the initial perceptual experience, or alternatively, this reconstruction involves format transformations and regions beyond initial perception. Participants from two cohorts studied new associations between verbs and randomly paired object images and subsequently recalled the objects when presented with the corresponding verb cue. We first analyse multivariate fMRI patterns to map where in the brain high- and low-level object features can be decoded during perception and retrieval, showing that retrieval is dominated by conceptual features, represented in comparatively late visual and parietal areas. A separately acquired EEG dataset is then used to t...

Learn how rewarding teaching in secondary education can be. Paul Cammer discusses his decision to move into high school teaching from research, and how much others in the field can get out of making a similar move.

Think about a time when you didn’t receive the recognition you felt you deserved, or when you hadn’t been heard on a particular issue. How productive were you? Did you still feel connected to your team, or did you withdraw?
