Small Sample Learning in Big Data Era (2018, background): “Although imaging is intrinsically subjective and unobservable, we have reasons to believe that it has a conserved role in simulation-based planning across species (Schacter et al., 2012; Hassabis and Maguire, 2009) (see Fig.5(c)).”
Flexible Memories: Differential Roles for Medial Temporal Lobe and Prefrontal Cortex in Cross-Episode Binding (2010, background): “…simulation than in episodic recollection (Okuda et al., 2003; Addis et al., 2007), that may reflect constructive recombination and binding of disparate elements from past experiences into a novel coherent representation (Hassabis and Maguire, 2007, 2009; Schacter et al., 2008; Addis et al., 2009).”
The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, unknown): “I hypothesize, as others do (Mesulam, 2002; Hassabis and Maguire, 2009; Buckner, 2012), that the default mode network is necessary for the brain’s internal model.”
Contributions of episodic retrieval and mentalizing to autobiographical thought: evidence from functional neuroimaging, resting-state connectivity, and fMRI meta-analyses (2014, background): “…or self-projection across time, space, and body (Buckner and Carroll, 2007; Spreng et al., 2009), mental construction of novel or familiar scenes (Hassabis and Maguire, 2007, 2009; Schacter et al., 2007), associative prediction (Bar, 2007; 2009), mentalizing (Schilbach et al., 2008; Mitchell…”
The proactive brain: memory for predictions (2009, background): “Yet more complex types of associations might combine the output of different modules performing mental simulations (Barsalou 2009; Hassabis & Maguire 2009; Moulton & Kosslyn 2009) and other relatively higher level operations.”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Alternatively, it may be that the scene construction processes thought to underpin autobiographical memory retrieval (Hassabis and Maguire, 2009) are similar to those recruited in producing a realistic and immersive dialogue.”
The Future of Memory: Remembering, Imagining, and the Brain (2012, background): “This growing area of research has broadened our conception of memory by highlighting the many ways in which memory supports adaptive functioning.”
The Successor Representation and Temporal Context (2012, background): “The idea that memories are based (at least in part) on predictions about the future resonates with recent neuroscientific work suggesting a close connection between remembering the past and envisioning the future (Schacter et al., 2007; Hassabis and Maguire, 2009).”
Episodic Memory and Beyond: The Hippocampus and Neocortex in Transformation (2016, unknown): “…relational, their elements could be recombined to form new associations, which together with constructive processes dependent on the pHPC (Gaesser et al. 2013) would create new scenarios (Romero & Moscovitch 2012) and construct new scenes (Hassabis & Maguire 2009) in the service of current needs.”
Neuroscience-Inspired Artificial Intelligence. (2017, background): “Although imagination has an intrinsically subjective, unobservable quality, we have reason to believe that it has a conserved role in simulation-based planning across species (Hassabis and Maguire, 2009; Schacter et al., 2012).”
The ecology of human fear: survival optimization and the nervous system (2015, background): “Episodic memory stores personal memories about everyday experiences and therefore is critical to simulation and higher forms of prediction (Hassabis and Maguire, 2009).”
On the link between conscious function and general intelligence in humans and machines (2022, background): “In the brain, the hippocampus has been linked with the generation of spatially and temporally coherent sequential trajectories (Hassabis & Maguire, 2009; Behrens et al., 2018).”
Prospection and the Present Moment: The Role of Episodic Foresight in Intertemporal Choices between Immediate and Delayed Rewards (2016, background): “Episodic foresight forms part of a general constructive process of mental time travel responsible for the simulation of both past and future episodic events (Buckner & Carroll, 2007; Hassabis & Maguire, 2009; Suddendorf & Corballis, 1997).”
