Also Saturday afternoon is Weijia Cao's analysis of Hippocampal and cortical coding of relational memory types

This poster (A73) follows from our recent focus on relational semantics (see bsky.app/profile/wood..., and also an encoding model approach from @gallantlab.org bsky.app/profile/gall...)

MAC lab How does our prior knowledge impact how we learn new information? How do memories change over time? We use cognitive neuroscience methods to understand how the brain stores, organizes, and transforms ...

The MAC lab is hiring a full-time lab manager to start in June! You will have the opportunity to conduct research projects relating to long-term memory and concept knowledge (methods include online and in-person behavioral experiments, fMRI, TMS). Apply by March 26 careers.drexel.edu/cw/en-us/job...

Thrilled to share our new paper with @candrew123.bsky.social & @davidpoeppel.bsky.social 🧠🎵 Amazing work by Andrew, who led this study uncovering how the brain encodes pitch—first linearly, then transforming into a helix-like structure! 🔄🎶 Check it out: #MusicNeuroscience #AuditoryCognition

New paper out now in JEP:G.

"Individual differences in working memory and attentional control continue to predict memory performance despite extensive learning."

Time-resolved hemispheric lateralization of audiomotor functional connectivity during covert speech production Covert speech involves the internal generation of articulatory movements and their sensory consequences. While overt speech involves a combination of …

I'm very happy that this paper by Francecso Mantegna (now Oxford) and Joan Orpella (now Georgetown) is published. Congrats for some heroic data wrangling!

Unusual experiment (mental imagery of speech planning+MEG) shows cool perspective on speech production

Presenting my work today and tomorrow at OPAM and psychonomic!! If you're interested in semantic relations and episodic memory, come find me at posters #59 & #3156!

So happy to see this published! Lila and I looked at how memory representations of sequences became integrated over time through their shared predictive cues. We had fun thinking about the different aspects of systems consolidation that may play a role in this transformation

Why is it so hard to find dragons in modern Chinese mythologies? Insights from Manchu/Jurchen mythologies All these years, there has been a mystery in my head: Dragon appears to be a key component of modern Chinese culture, but there is practical...

Started to blog (& am planning to do so intermittently as an amateur history/mythology lover)... "Why is it so hard to find dragons in modern Chinese mythologies? Insights from Manchu/Jurchen mythologies" :)

Happy to share our latest preprint, wrapping up an exciting project with Dr. Omri Raccah, Phoebe Chen, Dr. David Poeppel, and Dr. Alexa Tompary!
