hello + happy #BlackinNeuroWeek! I’m Alexia, nice to meet ya! I’m a PhD candidate UC Davis Psychology using molecular + genomic techniques to study how stressful experiences translate into maladaptive behaviors. I also love video games, baking, and my pup Lola 😊 #BlackNeuroRollCall

A late #BlackInNeuroRollCall tweet, but I'm a postdoctoral scholar at UC Davis in the dynamic memory lab Charan Ranganath studying the organization of episodic memory networks in the brain. Proud to be #BlackInNeuro blackinneuro.com/profiles/alex-…

New preprint with JoyJGeng @joyjgeng.bsky.social and Simona Ghetti ! We found that hearing a semantically congruent (but task-irrelevant) sound at encoding leads to better recollection-based recognition memory for the visual object later on, but no such effect on familiarity. psyarxiv.com/pk4cf/

If task structure representation in the hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex sounds interesting to you, take a look at our new paper 👀🧠 Huge congrats to Eda and our awesome team! So thankful to have worked on this project and very excited to see it out! 👏

Two chapters of Dr. Xinger Yu's newly minted dissertation are out this week. Both on the flexibility of target templates. So proud of her work. UC-Davis Center for Mind & Brain biorxiv.org/content/10.110… doi.org/10.1177/095679…

My first first-author paper is now published: doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.… Mixed effects models include infants and children who only complete a few ERP trials in an experiment and would otherwise be casewise deleted in ANOVA, resulting in unbiased mean amp estimates! UC Davis BASC Lab

I would be remiss if I did not share the original Figure 1A I crafted (left) that got us through the review process before Dr. Eliza Bliss-Moreau (for obvious reasons) suggested we get it professionally illustrated (by the very talented Matthew Verdolivo : UC Davis IET; right)

New article! We show that abrupt onsets are not suppressed by the visual system like color singletons. Big implications for models of attention and how we design visual warning signals in applied settings. Read more about it on my blog: gaspelinblog.wordpress.com/2022/07/08/can…

Our preprint on EEG correlates of decision making in continuous environments is up! Joint work with Maria Ru, Lilian Aline Weber, @TomRhysMarshall, and Jill O’Reilly. Find out more about these lovely data at #ccneuro22 later this week… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm excited to announce (a tad late) that the final project of my dissertation is out in SfN Journals #JNeurosci! Check out my work with JoyJGeng @joyjgeng.bsky.social on the neural representations of target identity and feature uncertainty here: jneurosci.org/content/43/50/…
