Ever notice medial parietal cortex in neuroimaging studies of episodic memory and wonder what's going on there? In our preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) we identify interleaving subregions responsive to memory-decisions vs semantic content during recognition within individuals.

I should have done this ages ago, but I've finally assembled a list of the various methods tutorials/workshops I've taught over the years. If you're interested in techniques like RSA, ANNs, advanced cross-validation, & beyond, check out the notebooks here: markallenthornton.com/software/

Our Postdoctoral Fellowship application is open! Designed for PhDs in neuro, psych, ling, philo, comp sci or other cog sci disciplines, the 3-year fellowship Penn is part of MindCORE's effort to explore human intelligence & behavior. Apply by Dec 3: mindcore.sas.upenn.edu/post-doctoral-…

I'm hiring a postdoc to collect and analyze human neurons and LFPs, with a focus on real-time behavioral and neural analyses of naturalistic memory and navigation tasks. See the job ad and/or DM me for more details! jobs.bcm.edu/job/Houston-Po…

If you are interested in PhD programs to study the cognitive neuroscience of memory, several of us at University of Oregon are recruiting (including new hire Vishnu Murty)!! Applications due 12/1. Hoping to admit quite a few students!

The Human and Machine Learning (HaML) Lab is recruiting a PhD student to start in Fall 2024. If you’re interested in human learning, machine learning, and neuroimaging, apply to work with me at UWM! See hamllab.org/positions.html for details about research and training in the lab.

I said it on the other platform and I'll say it here. Neal is a fantastic person, scientist, mentor and all around great guy. Check his lab out if you want to learn a lot, run cool experiments and analyses, and have a fun time doing it!

If you're at SfN and interested in memory reactivation during sleep, come check out my talk on Sunday morning! (8:45am, WCC 150) Part of an awesome nanosymposium on learning and memory led by Emily Cowan #SfN23 Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

New preprint! We use real-time Targeted Memory Reactivation to show that sleep reactivation transforms object memories, enhancing certain features at the expense of others. W/ Sindhuja Uppuluri, Jianing Mu, Marlie Tandoc, @JamesWardAntony, Dr. Anna Schapiro biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Epstein Lab Penn is looking for new postdocs!!! NIH funded project to investigate spatial and nonspatial cognitive maps in humans. Collaboration with @NoraNewcombe. More info at the link (please RT): psych.upenn.edu/epsteinlab/ann…

New paper out now in PNAS with Vishnu Murty & Ben Rottman! We found that the benefits of the spacing effect on item and associative memory depend on the variability in the mnemonic content and the timescale of the spacing intervals pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Thanks, great summary! Check out our new #JNeurosci paper w/Brett L. Foster + Joe Kable where we use the amazing Natural Scenes Dataset (thnx cvnlab+team) to identify distinct medial parietal regions responsive to recognition-decisions vs. semantic content jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Now out at SfN Journals JNeuro, well done to Yvonne Chen !!! Penn Neurosurgery jneurosci.org/content/early/…

MindCORE’s Diversity and Equity Initiative (DivE In) is excited to announce our 4th Annual Mentorship Weekend! We are now recruiting volunteers to organize this initiative, which is October 18-20, 2024. Interested? Fill out the volunteer form: forms.gle/pWjrfbgUa1zszt…

Interested in research & grad school in mind sciences? From underrepresented backgrounds (e.g., #LGBTQ #firstgen etc)? Apply to join our *fully funded* mentorship weekend to learn ins and outs of #GradSchoolApplication process, and get support from a matched mentor!

🚨 Job alert! My new lab at Binghamton University is hiring a full-time lab manager ("assistant"). This is a great fit for a recent grad looking for cog/comp neuro research experience before grad school. Details & job link below, and feel free to reach out with questions!

Out now in J Neurosci! Using real-time TMR, we find that sleep reactivation transforms memories, improving certain memory features at the cost of others. W/ Sindhuja Uppuluri, Jianing Mu, Marlie Tandoc, @JamesWardAntony, Dr. Anna Schapiro jneurosci.org/content/44/24/…
