Just found out that our #BIUVisionScienceSeminar youtube youtube.com/channel/UCnZQ6… has >14K views, > 50 talks with > 100 views. Most popular talk by Jeremy Wolfe with >1K views! Thanks to all the vision scientists and audience #vision #perception #neuroscience World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️

We showed people 100s of memories they recorded with 1 Second Everyday during fMRI and found a topography of memory content in the medial parietal cortex! W/ Chris Baker, now out in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/cYD8Z

We have a great line up of talks across many species & methods in the #SfN22 nanosymposium “Functional Mapping and Properties of the Visual Cortex” — Sat 1-4:30pm room SDCC7. Hope to see you in San Diego! Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

I’m excited to share a new manuscript with @AnnaCorriveau @lina_teichmann Susan Wardle Chris Baker in which we used MEG to reveal temporally distinct and highly stable neural representations of personally familiar people and places during cued recall. doi.org/10.1016/j.cort…

NEW VIDEO: Have you ever looked at an object— a building, shoe, soda can, potato— and seen a face in it? Find out why our brains trick us into seeing these illusions: t.ted.com/GtC4YiL

In this paper we found that new mums report seeing illusory faces in examples of #facepareidolia more easily than pregnant women. Thanks to the members of the public who shared their experiences of face pareidolia and drove this research! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

My lab Univ. of Delaware is recruiting graduate students in cognitive neuroscience. Contact me if you are interested and please share the word. Here is more info about the MVP Lab: mvaziri.github.io/Homepage/mvpLa… and the program: mvaziri.github.io/Homepage/Extra…

Now out in Nature Human Behaviour We show that people can learn to control bionic hands just as effectively and in some ways better, using unnatural control strategies compared to strategies that mimic natural limb control. nature.com/articles/s4156… Plasticity Lab Chris Baker

What kind of visual input drives amygdala activity? Here we deliberately increased the complexity of a stimulus set to explore multiple theories of amygdala function in 🐵 The results suggest that the face of a stranger is not the amyg’s fav stimulus. doi.org/10.1093/cercor…

We found that brief real-world experience with an object modulates activity in human medial parietal (but not occipitotemporal!) cortex when later viewing an image of the object New preprint with Beth Rispoli Vinai Roopchansingh Chris Baker doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

A fun project to work on---QC tools that will surely keep on growing---and hope people find these useful in their FMRI analyses. Thanks Gang Chen 🥂𝔹𝕠𝕓 ℂ𝕠𝕩🧠 Taylor Hanayik, PhD Dylan Nielson , Chris Rorden, Rick Reynolds, Justin Rajendra & Daniel Glen!

Hugely excited that this work with Martin Hebart and Chris Baker is now out in Nature Human Behaviour !!! By moving from a category-focused to a behaviour-focused model, we identified behaviourally relevant object information throughout visual cortex. nature.com/articles/s4156…

This is super fun and it actually helps the applicants. Approximately 70% of those who had their statements edited got an interview or accepted into graduate programs in psychology. #SignUp for ASFP and help out.

Super excited to be co-hosting scientist Nancy Hopkins and author Kate Zernike at NIH this Wednesday as part of a event jointly organized by the Porter Book Club, Women Scientists Advisors (WSA) and Women Scientist Fellows (WSF). linktr.ee/wsf.nih?utm_so… videocast.nih.gov/watch=55349
