My dissertation work with Stephen Wilson -- in which we show the importance of lesion *location* in predicting recovery from aphasia after stroke -- is finally out! Please check out the paper (plus its aphasia-friendly version!) at the link below: academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Proud of having been part of this group of teachers, clinicians, & cognitive scientists working towards a comprehensive battery to assess mathematical abilities: nature.com/articles/s4153… Check out the heterogeneity of strengths & weakness we found in a cohort of dyslexic kids:

Excited to share our review on the successor representation and two important generalizations: successor features and successor models!

These provide answers spanning AI, cognitive science, and neuroscience for how agents can efficiently reuse their knowledge in new situations

Ever wonder how your brain does math?
Saban, Pedro Pinheiro-Chagas, Borra, & Ivry Laboratories found the cerebellum & basal ganglia distinctively contribute to counting & chaining, two operations needed for solving math equations. #JNeurosci Tel Aviv University UCBerkeley Psychology
