  "summary": "Visual perception unfolds through sequential eye movements, yet computational models of episodic memory typically assume that event representations already exist. Here, we propose that sequential gaze sampling does not simply supply memory with visual information, but contributes to the construction and organisation of episodic representations. We introduce a computational model in which…",
