The last chapter of my dissertation is now (substantially revamped and much cooler) and live on NeuroImage! We show that EEG alpha power indexes the level of attention to both visual AND auditory streams and impacts subsequent behavior. Check it out! doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

The CNL had a fun UnBirthday Tea Party a couple weeks ago! Tons of tea, snacks, and more desserts than we knew what to do with 😆

For those with autosomal dominant mutations AD can feel inevitable. Doug Whitney has beaten the odds. His story gives hope to others and also may provide insight into biological properties that can prevent AD #Alzheimers #ENDAD Randall Bateman @WUADRC apnews.com/article/alzhei…

Congratulations to one of our stellar graduate students, Samia, for passing her first year project talk yesterday! She requested no photos of her be included in this post, so please enjoy this gif of a brain doing some aerobic exercise, a topic heavily featured in her work 😊

And how could I forget that our very talented Daniel passed his prelim exam in January! Daniel Bowie my deep apologies, I am clearly not on top of updating the Twitterverse on our lab accomplishments. Here’s actual footage of Daniel’s brain while writing his prelim documents:

Congratulations to one of our stellar graduate students, Sydney, @sydney_chism23 for passing her first year project talk yesterday! She requested no photos of her be included here so please enjoy this flanker task gif! Sydney used this to measure cognitive control in her work 😊

If you are looking for a postbac position the Imaging Core for the @WUADRC Benzinger Neuroimaging Laboratory at Test Account is hiring technicians. Dm if you have specific questions. #postbac #AcademicTwitter #ENDALZHEIMERS #ENDALZ wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

So excited to share this project with Erin Long, PhD examining the role of co-occurring parent and child stress in the longitudinal association between parental depression and child internalizing!

Congratulations to yet another stellar CNL grad student, Xiang, for passing her first year project talk yesterday! She used EEG and optical data to uncover unique activations in the CON and FPN related to shifting and updating (in a cognitive control framework)

Congratulations to our last stellar CNL grad student, Beth, for passing her first year project talk yesterday! She used a choice reaction time task & ERPs to investigate working memory & fluid intelligence differences in older & younger adults. See “working memory” below 😉

The lab’s first single trial optical imaging paper was published today! Not only is it a single trial paper, but it evidences that the fast optical signal is suitable technology to develop real-time brain computer interfaces in the future. Check it out! mdpi.com/2306-5354/10/5…

🚨Preprint🚨if you dig aperiodic activity&cognitive aging, read this! Cortical E:I balance (1/f exponent) indexes info processing phases& predicts behavior. Older ppl show excessive excitation, but contextual variability partly restores their E:I balance! tinyurl.com/yc4xm2tw

🚨New!🚨We outline a detailed quality control procedure for manual correction of automatic hippocampal subfield segmentations by trained&reliable human raters. It’s optimized for efficiency while prioritizing measurement validity&suits ANY automatic atlas. doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2…

🚨👀🚨Check out our new preprint, showing that stiffening of brain arteries precedes, and contributes to, losses in white matter integrity and fluid intelligence 🧠🫀lead by @DannyBovvie biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The #2023SPR meeting issue of Psychophysiology is now online! It includes articles that celebrate SPR members’ accomplishments and those that resonate with some of the themes of the #2023SPR annual meeting. @Wiley @WileyNeuro onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.111…

We (maclab.sites.tamu.edu) are hiring a lab manager! This is an ideal position for someone who wants to apply to graduate school. Minimum 2-year commitment. Please repost!

🚨The Air Force Research Lab is hiring a Cognitive Neuroscientist with EEG experience! 🚨Think that some members of TheRealSPR would make excellent candidates 👀 airforcestem.recsolu.com/jobs/-3txWdxEL…

I'll be recruiting a PhD student through the Cog Neuro Program UIUC Psychology Department this year. If you're interested in brain organization, networks, and cognition, please consider applying. 🧠🧠🧠

We test a cascade model of neurocognitive aging in which declines in cerebrovascular health precede and contribute to white matter lesions and fluid cognitive decline. Read below! Daniel Bowie sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
