I will propose that what we encode are disentangled representations that enable us to make better sense of the present and better prediction regarding the future. I will go on to argue that this is realised is the brain via neural replay, by which I mean the sequential, fast, reactivation of acquired representations of world. In so-doing I will introduce an approach to the non-invasive measurement of neural replay in humans and go on to show how neural replay exploits disentangled representations to meet current task demands. I will also touch on the potential role of neural replay as an in-vivo neurophysiological marker of early neurodegenerative disease.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-speaker\"\n    >\nAbout the speaker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ray Dolan<\/a> is a Mary Kinross Professor of Neuropsychiatry and Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mps-ucl-centre.mpg.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Max Planck Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing<\/a>, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University College London<\/a>.&nbsp; His primary research interests include reward, learning and decision-making and their breakdown in psychopathology.&nbsp; He holds an honorary Professorship at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hu-berlin.de\/de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Humboldt University Berlin<\/a> and is an External Member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpg.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Max Planck Society<\/a>.&nbsp; He is a Member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ria.ie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Royal Irish Academy<\/a> (MRIA) and a <a href=\"https:\/\/royalsociety.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fellow Royal Society<\/a> (FRS).
