DESCRIPTION:Prof. Per B. Sederberg\, Ohio State University\, USA.\nMemory
  stretches over a lifetime. In controlled laboratory settings\, the hippoc
 ampus and other medial temporal lobe brain structures have been shown to r
 epresent space and time on the scale of meters and seconds. It remains unc
 lear whether these regions also represent space and time over the longer s
 cales necessary to support human episodic memory. In this talk I will revi
 ew our recent work to uncover the neural representation of both objective 
 (space and time) and subjective (context tags provided by the participant)
  details of real-life remembered experiences via lifelogging and functiona
 l neuroimaging. Participants wore android phones equipped with custom life
 logging software to collect data about their everyday events for a period 
 of 2 to 4 weeks. They then relived episodes from their own lives\, cued by
  images collected with the lifelogging device. Similarity-based analyses r
 evealed specific networks of brain regions\, including the hippocampus\, t
 hat track the objective and subjective details of remembered experiences. 
 These regions and representations may provide a scaffold for encoding and 
 retrieval of autobiographical memories on the scale of our lives.Bio: Per 
 B. Sederberg\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Psychology 
 at the Ohio State University. He directs the OSU Computational Memory Lab 
 and is Associate Director of the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences. 
 His work involves linking computational models and neural data with the go
 al of attaining a mechanistic understanding of memory and cognition.
