Enjoying that moment when the pilot data look exactly the way you hoped 😁 before forcing yourself back to reality and the long wait to get the full dataset 🫡

Nothing like spending an entire semester up to your eyeballs in teaching and grading to make you miss writing. Working on student manuscripts this week and loving seeing these stories start to come together!

It’s been a roller coaster of a year. At some point, I’ll post a by-the-numbers for the lab, but right now I’m going to take a step back and reset for the new year. I hope everyone is able to do the same as we prepare for 2026!

In typical fashion, I couldn’t help myself and looked at the data from the first three participants in our new taVNS optimization study. The data fall exactly as I expected. I know, I know, WAY. TOO. SOON…but still kinda nice to have some validation of the hypothesis, right?

Interestingly, musical experiences were linked to improved performance. Her findings suggest that deficits in simple pitch discrimination may interfere with complex auditory category learning, contributing to speech sound categorization challenges in dyslexia. See the full paper here:
