So 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.

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

Excited 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/...

New paper out! 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...

Object Feature Memory Is Distorted by Category Structure
Abstract. 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...

Thanks @thetransmitter.bsky.social for highlighting my soon-to-open lab! 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 :)

New preprint! We use real-time TMR to show that sleep reactivation transforms object memories, enhancing certain features at the expense of others. W/ Sindhuja Uppuluri, Jianing Mu, @marlietandoc.bsky.social @jameswardantony.bsky.social @annaschapiro.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.14.571683

Now out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience! Here we examined the degree to which dorsal and ventral visual pathways can functionally reorganize after children have half of their brain surgically removed (!!) doi.org/10.1016/j.dc... #cogsci #devpsy #neuroscience

If you’d like to learn how suboptimal decision-making, choice variability, and individual differences can all reflect information-efficient inference, come to my poster at UU22 tomorrow, Monday morning from 8 am - 12 noon! #SfN23
