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!

Circles Sines and Signals - Introduction

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

Scientists unravel how a tiny region of the brain helps us form distinct memories, opening new avenues for PTSD, Alzheimerโ€™s research The locus coeruleus works like a โ€œresetโ€ button that separates the memory of one meaningful event from the next.

New press on our study linking the locus coeruleus to memory formation ๐Ÿ”ต: newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/bra... .

โ€œโ€ฆat a time when legislation promises โ€˜big and beautiful change,โ€™ it turns out one of the brainโ€™s smallest players may have the biggest impact on how we understand and remember our lives.โ€

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!

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 top๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

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!

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! ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿง

Hi! My lab is recruiting participants for our study on the gut-brain axis and nutrition's role in neurocognition. We have been having trouble finding participants who meet all criteria.
