Proud of Erin Morrow for her amazing work on this project! Our findings suggest that unpleasant memories tend to blend together with similar neutral memories in anxious individuals. A riff off a clever memory paradigm by Brice Kuhl Avi Chanales

Come join our collaborative team & help us figure out how to optimize the synching of data across many different sensors/devices to facilitate uniquely naturalistic neuroscience experiments of human memory formation and retrieval.

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...

We are hiring 2 RAs in the AML (now at University of Oregon) with an anticipated start date of late summer/early fall. I promise it will be a fun place to study motivation, affect, and memory! Find more info about the position in the ad below, and a link to apply in the thread.

We’re hiring: “In this role you will be assisting in practical aspects of scanning, acting as support in day-to-day operations of the MRI lab, assisting in lab management and technical development, & implementing standard scanner quality assurance and image analysis procedures.”

Congrats, Jamie Greer!

Delighted our latest finding! We discovered that abstract representations emerge in the human hippocampus when learning to perform inference. This change in neural geometry is due to disentanglement of discovered latent and observable variables. nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

New preprint with @LilaDavachi and Ringo Huang! Ever wonder how your brain knows when one memory ends and another begins? We show that the locus coeruleus acts like a ‘reset’ button for memory when things change💥🔵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

I'll be reviewing PhD apps for admission for Fall 2025 (apply through Developmental)! The fun, hardworking and diverse crew in SAND Lab is doing all kinds of fMRI and behav work on early adversity, inflammation, emotion, adolescence and emerging adulthood. Join us!
