Dupret Group

The Dupret Group is based at the Brain Network Dynamics Unit, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford.

Research Themes

Mapping & rebalancing memory

We study how the brain maps experiences into hippocampal representations and rebalances these networks during learning and recall. Using neural recordings and behavioural analysis, we explore how memory maps are formed, reorganised, and updated to support flexible memory and behaviour.

Physiomarkers

We study physiomarkers as neural signatures of cognitive states, focusing on electrophysiological signals linked to memory and disease.

Tools (devices, software, algorithms)

We develop tools including algorithms and software for analysing neural data, modelling brain dynamics, and decoding cognitive states. These tools support our research on memory and brain disorders, and aim to enable scalable, reproducible, and translational neuroscience.

Approaches

Empirical Neuroscience

We use an empirical neuroscience approach by combining in vivo recordings, imaging, and behavioural experiments to study memory processes. We collect and analyse real neural data from behaving animals to uncover how brain circuits encode, store, and adapt memories in naturalistic conditions.
