We have 3 PhD positions at our department (www.jobbnorge.no/nn-no/ledige...). Know a good student interested in working with me on perception / visual memory? I'd be happy to support the proposal! A catch: this person must speak a Scandinavian language as the position implies some teaching duties.

Excited to share that I've been awarded the UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship @UC_PPFP! I'll be continuing my research on emotion perception and context integration in frontotemporal dementia at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center (@UCSFmac) with the @Rankin_Lab!

How do you know how someone is feeling? We don't just use facial expressions (a), we combine expressions with "context", like body language and scenes, to truly understand emotions (b). Our study investigated the brain's computational mechanisms for integrating these cues in real-time.
