- Abstract: When we experience an event, it feels like our previous experiences, our
interpretations of that event (e.g., aesthetics, emotions), and our current
state will determine how we will remember it. However, recent work has revealed
a strong sway of the visual world itself in influencing what we remember and
forget. Certain items -- including certain faces, words, images, and movements
-- are intrinsically memorable or forgettable across observers, regardless of
individual differences. Further, neuroimaging research has revealed that the
brain is sensitive to memorability both rapidly and automatically during late
perception. These strong consistencies in memory across people may reflect the
broad organizational principles of our sensory environment, and may reveal how
the brain prioritizes information before encoding items into memory. In this
chapter, I will discuss our current state-of-the-art understanding of
memorability for visual information, and what these findings imply about how we
perceive and remember visual events.

This study delves into the elusive "moment of memorability"
By transforming subjects' encoding phase electroencephalography (EEG) signals into the visual domain, we investigate the neural signatures that underpin this moment.
Our findings support the involvement of theta band oscillations over the right temporal lobe in the encoding of declarative memory.

We provide an information theoretic dynamical systems perspective on the richness and ineffability of consciousness.
In our framework, the richness of conscious experience corresponds to the amount of information in a conscious state.
While our model may not settle all questions relating to the explanatory gap, it makes progress toward a fully physicalist explanation.

Social reasoning requires the capacity of theory of mind (ToM) to contextualise and attribute mental states to others.
Recent machine learning approaches to ToM have demonstrated that we can train the observer to read the past and present behaviours of other agents.
We tackle the challenges by equipping the observer with novel neural memory mechanisms to encode, and hierarchical attention to selectively retrieve information about others.
This results in ToMMY, a theory of mind model that learns to reason while making little assumptions about the underlying mental processes.

We also design a Scene-Object Fusion Module to integrate scenes and objects, which exploits scene features to guide the fusion process of object features with the proposed scene-based attention mechanism.
