Episodic memory and spatial processing

We are exploring the hypothesis that our episodic memory, i.e. the ability to relive a moment in our lives, is underpinned by a low-level spatial process. This process, egocentric updating, is complex but automated and enables us to situate even non-visible objects in relation to ourselves. We are studying body cues related to posture to see if they are modified by the intervention of this spatial process during recollection.
