Abstract: The event segmentation theory posits that mental models, referred to as event models, are constructed from prior knowledge and incoming perceptual information to interpret and predict ongoing experiences. When these event models generate a significant prediction error, they are replaced by a more appropriate model, resulting in event segmentation—the chunking of continuous experiences into discrete events. Alex Barnett's research explores how shared knowledge affects the segmentation of experiences, cortical representational patterns, and memory. Findings indicate that prior knowledge in a domain is associated with better memory and more synchronized event segmentation in individuals with high domain knowledge compared to those with low domain knowledge. Additionally, the research demonstrates that as individuals accumulate shared knowledge and experiences, brain synchrony during event encoding increases across a broad set of cortical regions, including sensory, attentional, and higher-order networks. Furthermore, people who recall events more similarly tend to exhibit shared multivariate patterns in the posterior medial cortex. These experiments provide insights into how prior knowledge and experience are utilized by the brain, influencing the way events are experienced and recalled.

The Feindel Seminar Series at The Neuro
Advances the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.
