It's in my eyes, but it doesn't look that way to me.

Full Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Hannula and Ranganath provide striking evidence that hippocampal activity predicts eye movements that reveal memory for the past even when participants' overt memory decisions are in error. Their findings bear on an ongoing debate about the relationship between mnemonic awareness and hippocampal function.
