Brian Levine

Thrilled to see this award to the outstanding Dr. Ryan Yeung for his work on subjectivity and the brain!

I was honoured to be elected to the 2025 class of Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada.

I am grateful to my trainees, research assistants, funders, and donors who have made our research possible.

Saying "so long" to our outstanding summer students Jennifer Zhavoronkova & Rivka Van Klei. We will miss you!

And thanks to our sponsors:

Just coming back after an exhilarating meeting at #TAMeG2025. Thank you to @brianlevine.bsky.social & the amazing student organizing committee for putting together a stellar day of science. Coming back inspired for organizing the Bay Area Memory Meeting! #BAMM

The Data Blitz session wrapped up with Khalil Husein from the Fernandes and Stastna Labs on “Can computational sentiment analysis classify autobiographical memories? Comparing VADER and TextBlob” 🧠 #TAMeG2025

Melisa Gumus from the Mack Lab on “Emergence of attentional templates in concept learning and the underlying neural mechanisms” ⚙️🧠 #TAMeG2025

Veronica Cramm from the J. Anderson Lab on “Distinguishing true effect from the confound of scan quality” #TAMeG2025

Audrey Li-Chay-Chung from the Addis and Rosenbaum Labs on “Using tDCS to investigate cerebellar contributions to autobiographical memory” 🧠 #TAMeG2025

Samantha Corion from the Sokolowski Lab on “Neural correlates of mental arithmetic strategies: An fMRI meta-analysis” 🔢🧠 #TAMeG2025

Samantha Gauvreau from the Szpunar Lab on “The impact of repeated cumulative testing on the organization of recall” 📝🧠 #TAMeG2025

🌟 Data Blitz Session 2 also featured:

Tasha Ignatius from the Wammes Lab on “Precision and feature selection during drawing influences memory” 🎯🧠 #TAMeG2025

#TAMeG2025 Data Blitz 2 kicked off with a talk by Gahyun Kim from the LEEMTL Lab & Cirelli Lab titled “Investigating the development of temporal distance memory”🧠

#TAMeG2025 wrapped up with a panel discussion on “Science communication and combating disinformation” featuring:

🌟 Jeffery Schall, PhD
🌟 Carrie Boyce, MA
🌟 Charan Ranganath, PhD

Chaired by Morgan Barense, PhD

Thank you to everyone who attended, and see you next year at #TAMeG2026!🧠

The keynote presentation of #TAMeG2025 10th Anniversary 🌟 was by Dr. Charan Ranganath on “Why (and how) we remember🧠 Thank you Dr. Ranganath for an *incredible* presentation on the organization of narrative recall @charan-neuro.bsky.social @brianlevine.bsky.social

🔑 takeaways below⬇️

Wrapping up with our final talk session of #TAMeG2025, some incredible talks on memory using non-behavioural methods 🧠🔬

The second talk session of #TAMeG2025 is underway featuring talks on memory across development and cultural considerations for memory disorders 👶🏽🧠

The second half of Data Blitz 1 #TAMeG2025 featured talks on childhood neural synchrony driving broader attention, cardiac modulation of familiarity in aging, vascular risk impacting midlife female brain connectivity, and lastly how semantic congruence steers episodic recall in children & adults🧠

🌟 Rohina Kumar, RA at CBH Lab presenting at the #TAMeG2025 on “Cross-Cultural Considerations in Screening for Memory Disorders” - findings from the Canadian Multi-Ethnic Research on Aging (CAMERA) study led by Dr. Jenny Rabin @jennyrabin.bsky.social @sunnybrookhsc.bsky.social

The first #TAMeG2025 Data Blitz of the year is underway featuring talks ranging from neural signatures of semantic vs. perceptual memory across development, how event segmentation shapes recall, age differences in associative/source memory in #VR, and hippocampal engagement via multimodal imaging🧠

Kicking off the first TAMeG talk session of the conference with a deep dive into memory, from retrieval and reactivation to the complexities of false memory and cognitive offloading 🧠🤔 #TAMeG2025

#TAMeG2025 is coming and it's gonna be good!

Thrilled to see the incomparable Dr. @cesopenko.bsky.social today who shared her research and advocacy work for the millions affected by intimate partner violence.

Such naches!
