Anna Schapiro

In this engaging discussion, Anna Schapiro, an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, shares insights from her research on computational modeling and memory. She dives into how neural networks help us understand memory representation in the brain and the crucial role of sleep in memory consolidation. Topics include the dynamics of memory reactivation during REM sleep, the complex interplay between the hippocampus and neocortex, and how bilingualism impacts memory processes—all through groundbreaking computational theories.
