You learn better when you test yourself on an answer before you study it? Even more counterintuitive, our findings showcase that there is not one direct mechanism to this effect.

NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)

Fellow Grad students, please check the NSF website. There was an update last night. 1st year students (masters and phd) can apply.

Years ago my lab tried to brainstorm ways to separately manipulate low-level (texture/pattern) and high-level (scene/object) image properties, for studying visual representations in the brain. Thanks to imaginative work by PhD student Zall Hirschstein, we now have a stimulus set that does just that!

hi everyone! i made a support groupchat for students who are currently applying for PhD/PsyD programs, wanting to apply to these programs, or for students who want more information. If you would like to join, please reach out and I will add you! 🥰

How our perception of time influences the memory of events Written by: Jacinda TaggettEdited by: Danica J.Imagine you are walking from a coffee shop to your college classroom when you experience a shocking event: witnessing an individual fall off their bike a...

I have officially written my first blog post as a first year PhD student 📝

Hoping to write once a month as I embark on this journey into academia.

Read below an intro to temporal memory! 🧠

Being a scientist is my day job, but I also write and perform music. I've finally posted some live vids by my band, theNULL: youtu.be/Zdu6Z2XpqeM?...
We also have an Instagram @thenull_davis and it would really help us to get some follows for getting gigs. Speaking of which, merch is coming soon!

Just discovered this cool resource for learning about digital signal processing. Super cool and intuitive visualizations for newbies and experts alike!

“…at a time when legislation promises ‘big and beautiful change,’ it turns out one of the brain’s smallest players may have the biggest impact on how we understand and remember our lives.”

Amid these wild times, I'm grateful to first-author this super cool fMRI study started by my great advisor @davidclewett.bsky.social! 🧠

hi everyone :)

I've made a lil ole blog to make some posts about the research I do (w/o giving too much away ofc) and to provide some tips for upcoming academics from an upcoming academic

Dynamic Memory Lab_Jr Specialist_Ranganath University of California, Davis is hiring. Apply now!

I'm looking for a new full-time research assistant ("junior specialist"). It's not quite "lab manager" because I have someone who takes care of the administrative tasks, and here I'm looking for someone to help us get research done! Info is below, please pass on to any talented candidates, thanks!

congrats!!

Congratulations!!!

MDRS MDRS is a professional society dedicated to the study of memory. Members engage in basic and clinical research into how memory works and why it fails.

My favorite conference is the Memory Disorders Research Society meeting. It's a delightful community: top-notch research & wonderful people who have been so supportive in my career.

Want to join? Nominations for membership (including self-nominations) are open until April 9! Form at the top👇🏼

now is this about me…

Congrats!!!

We're in Symposium Session 8 "Memory in the plan of your hand", learning about smartphone studies and how they are contributing to understanding - and perhaps strengthening - memory
@evgoldfarb.bsky.social kicks it off!
#CNS2025

congrats!!

My first @cogneuronews.bsky.social meeting! Day one and I’ve already met so many great people and heard about the excellent cognitive neuroscience research they are doing! Might have to put this event on my annual rotation😏
#CNS2025 @northwellhealth.bsky.social

Excited to share our new preprint! Using a narrative reading paradigm, we showed that temporal order memory reconstruction can depend on multiple sources of information - factors like knowledge about typical event order and hierarchical event structure can both play important roles! 📖🧠

tomorrow morning!!! come by to learn about this amazing & interdisciplinary project 💗 #cns2025

#scicomm is more important than ever, as science is under attack @charan-neuro.bsky.social
Excited for this workshop on #scicomm at #CNS2025

Grateful to be gathering and hearing exciting science from the cog neuro community at #CNS2025! We’ve got new ideas to share:
Sat 3p - poster A94 from Jean Ye
Sun 5p - C147 from @zhoui.bsky.social
Mon 10am - 📱symposium! feat @davidclewett.bsky.social, @barense.bsky.social, @liladavachi.bsky.social

if you’re going to #cns2025 … come on down to my poster (B#127) !! i will be going over how we use PET neuroimaging, pharmacological intervention, and computational modeling to assess dopamine’s role in social decision making! :)

Congratulations!!!

If you're going to #CNS2025, please stop by my poster (C36) on Sunday evening to find out more about this paper and episodic memory's multidimensional scrutiny! 🤓
