Memories are flexible and dynamic, allowing us to recall past experiences and make predictions about the future based on previously experienced schemas or our episodic memories. Using high-spatial resolution intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings in the human brain, we explore the neural representations of internally generated schemas during visual narratives (in the form of comic strips). Utilizing decoding analyses, we examine the temporal evolution of schema processing through lower-level (e.g., occipital cortex) and higher-level (e.g., prefrontal (PFC)) regions of the brain. In addition, we show how violations of schematic knowledge are processed throughout the hierarchy, how episodic memory of schema violations change these representations over time, and how the hippocampus supports reinstatement of mnemonic neural representations over time.
