Wonder what 2020 did to your memory or sense of time?
🚨 Now out in @PNASNews 🚨 we tracked how collective events and individuals’ emotional state (sampled throughout 2020) shaped spontaneous autobiographical memory across 3 years in the same ~1000 participants. (1/9)

This is a "pinch me" moment—but I have exciting news! In Fall 2024, I will be an Assistant Prof of Psychology at Binghamton University. My lab will use human behavior, computational methods, and fMRI to study how we build, represent, and use concepts. I can't wait to get started!

Excited to share a new preprint with Asieh Zadbood, @AChanales, @LilaDavachi 😃

We show that repeated encoding significantly enhances cortical replay and hippocampal-cortical coordinated replay, but not replay in hippocampus.

Scientists seek truth. But what is truth to a brain-body-environmental system? In this chapter, I explore the ways in which embodied concepts shape our shared knowledge and therefore our truths:

New #preprint! @JamesWardAntony and I try to reconcile the mixed findings on the effects that reactivation during sleep has on complex, multi-item memories. We argue that learning trajectories set during wake go on to determine the course of consolidation

In a randomized, double-blind, phase II trial, Koch et al. find that 24 weeks of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the precuneus slows down cognitive and functional decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. bit.ly/3SUOGnv

My sleep model w/ @AnnaSchapiro & @ptoncompmemlab now out in @PNASNews! We simulate how hippocampal-neocortical interactions promote memory consolidation, with NREM/REM alternation facilitating integration of new information into existing knowledge pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21…

Hi all, We have a new RA opening in my lab! #musicscience and #AlzheimersDisease research. People skills required; Computational/data skills are a major +. Details here, pls RT northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjo…

Applying to PhD programs & interested in studying human memory? Be sure to consider my lab @UCRiverside! We use fMRI and EEG to look at memory (and esp how context influences our memories) in younger adults & healthy older adults. Apps are due by Dec 1st: bit.ly/UCRPhDApp

SO excited to share this preprint!💫 Our tasks/goals shape what we learn vs. ignore. We find that while true for adults, it is not for kids. Kids learned equally well regardless if information was the focus of a task or if it was entirely task irrelevant psyarxiv.com/aqw28

Trying to predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease? Using factor scores is an easy-to-use and powerful approach for this, and using factor scores from multiple data modalities is even better. Welcome to check our new paper:

Excited that #musicscience and #musictherapy for #dementia/#Alzheimers are spotlighted at @dana_fdn. Also many younger investigators doing groundbreaking work in this field like @amy_belfi, @alainehdz, @psycheloui should be featured too. #music #neuro

Important thoughts by @theamygdaloid & @hakwanlau. From the title, you might miss this thread: There's more to fear than the amygdala, and to treat mental disorders we'll have to take on a thing that the field has been avoiding - consciousness.
