Emily Meyer @emilymeyer.bsky.social · 15/04/2026So excited and proud to share this project that was a major group effort! We show that, despite having lower acuity and no fovea as compared to primates, tree shrews have the ability to consistently identify objects across identity-preserving transformations. 010

Emily Meyer @emilymeyer.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Excited to share my first first-author paper out now in PNAS! By comparing retinotopically-defined visual areas in macaques and humans, we found that evolutionary expansion is reflected in the size, not number, of visual areas. #neuroskyence #neuroscience www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 15715

Memory for object features is warped according to their role in a category, w/ features shared across category-mates misremembered as more similar. We explored the phenomenon in our NN model of the hipp. w/ @annaschapiro.bsky.social & @codydong.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/opmi...doi.orgObject Feature Memory Is Distorted by Category StructureAbstract. Memory systems constantly confront the challenge of capturing both the shared features that connect experiences together and the unique features that distinguish them. Across two experiments... 14720

My lab will explore the neural and computational mechanisms that support perception and cognition from infancy to adulthood. And, yes, the first piece of 'equipment' bought for the lab was a nintendo switch :) 1174
