How do we learn about experiences while being removed from the experience itself? One solution involves offline learning via reactivations. Sensory reactivation involves the recurrence of a pattern of neural activity during sleep or quiet waking that previously occurred during a sensory experience. Prevailing theories of offline memory consolidation posit that the pattern of neurons activated during a sensory experience will be faithfully reactivated, thereby stabilizing the entire pattern. However, sensory-evoked patterns are not stable, but instead drift across repeated experiences. Our stud
