I create synaptic plasticity models in order to understand how memories of associations are cre- ated in the human hippocampus. In parallel, I collaborate with Marta Boscaglia and Prof. R.Q. Quiroga at University of Leicester to study how the size of memory engrams relates to the stimulus familiarity.
