Research summary
AI-generated

Sarah Robins works at the intersection of philosophy and cognitive science, focusing on how memory works in the mind and brain. Her writing examines concepts like the 'engram' (the physical trace of a memory in the brain), how memories are constructed or recalled, and how philosophical ideas about memory relate to findings from neuroscience and psychology. This research is aimed at clarifying what memory is and how it should be studied, drawing on both empirical evidence and conceptual analysis.
