Cortico-hippocampal interactions underlie schema-supported memory encoding in older adults

New paper led by @shenyanghuang.bsky.social!

Older adults' memory benefits from richer semantic contexts. We found connectivity patterns supporting this semantic scaffolding.

Last week, I had the honor of hooding my first graduate students, Cortney Howard and @shenyanghuang.bsky.social (w @felipedebrigard.bsky.social).

Ceremonies like these bring clarity to the complex process of academic study.

I know now that what we do is sacred.

🙋‍Come by my poster next Tuesday 8-10AM to discuss the good, the dad, and the ugly of Representational Similarity Analysis! (Not an April fools' joke)

Hey everybody! #CNS2025 bleepstorm incoming! 9 POSTERS!

I work with an amazing group of scientists, celebrating them this weekend in Boston is makes me so excited and hopeful (and I usually abhor the use exclamation points!)

Connectivity analyses for task-based fMRI - PubMed Functional connectivity is conventionally defined by measuring the similarity between brain signals from two regions. The technique has become widely adopted in the analysis of functional magnetic res...

Newly minted DOCTOR in our lab, @shenyanghuang.bsky.social examines a lot of these techniques and their applications in a recent review paper. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728902/

Pair it with this empirical masterpiece and you could probably solve the brain or something like that.

GitHub - 1nathanliang/pretty-qualtrics: JS + CSS customization for Qualtrics surveys JS + CSS customization for Qualtrics surveys. Contribute to 1nathanliang/pretty-qualtrics development by creating an account on GitHub.

Wake up babe, first package release just dropped on GitHub 🔥😤🔥

I've begun to compile the custom JS + CSS I use to ✨prettify✨ my Qualtrics surveys under the hood, and the first thing done here is emulating the Simple layout UI while using the Flat layout:
