If you're coming to CNS, come check us out!

Come see our poster at CNS, Sunday from 5-7pm (C102). Collaboration between Duncan Lab and Amy Finn and the Finn Lab! We validated using the GSBS state segmentation algorithm on individual-level fMRI data, and found individual differences in event timescales in the brain!

✨New paper co-led w/ Monica Ellwood-Lowe out now! Here we bridge the emerging strength-based science of poverty to developmental cognitive neuroscience, and ultimately towards more humanistic, sensitive, & respectful policies that foster children’s thriving.🪡 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/10 In April of 2020, weeks into the shutdown, Halie Olson, John Gabrieli, and I initiated an email conversation under the subject “A bad idea”—which, by the end, was optimistically reworded to “Not a bad idea.”🧵

stoked to announce i'll be starting my lab at USC jan 2025! rouhanilab.com please RT (here or IRL): i'll be looking for a research specialist/lab manager & grad students (fall 2025); email me! (will also be giving a talk at APS tomorrow) this took entire villages...

If you're at APS Association for Psychological Science tomorrow (Fri.), you may be interested in our 10:30 symposium: 'Dynamic interactions between learning and memory across the lifespan.' 🧠👦🧓🔄 with Alexandra (Lexi) Decker Nina Rouhani Sharon Noh development, aging, modeling, real-world behavior & more!

Thrilled to share that our paper 'Impact of early visual experience on later usage of color cues', combining experimental data from children treated for congenital blindness and results of computational simulations, is now out in Science Magazine! doi.org/10.1126/scienc… 🧵

New in Science Magazine What FB news drove COVID vax hesitancy in US? False misinfo? Not so much: We find unflagged ‘vax-skeptical’ news had *46X larger* impact than flagged misinfo Why? Flagged misinfo had bigger impact when seen, but ~100x fewer views science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our attention waxes and wanes over time. How does this influence the way our memories are organized? Pupil size at encoding, an index of attention, predicts the temporal structure of subsequent memory Super proud of Manasi Jayakumar (she/her) for this work! 👀 osf.io/preprints/psya…

New paper out! We show how children really are little sponges, learning to the same extent regardless of whether we tell them to focus or not! And the fact that Marlie Tandoc managed to see this through from her lab-manager days will forever impress me!! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
