Come chat with me to hear about a day in the life of a grad student and cognitive neuroscience!
Applying to Psych PhD programs? Considering applying to @UCSDPsychology?
For the third year in a row, we’re hosting a two-day virtual event for prospective students on October 17th & 18th. You can register and view the schedule at diversifyingpsychology.ucsd.…. 1/4

So excited to share my first PhD-project with my supervisor @mareikegrotheer and @KularHolly @kalatwt & Julia Jorgensen.🥳 Our MRI-study investigated responses in OTS-words (VWFA) when reading words in text & emoji format: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… More infos in this thread 🧵

@jannawwennberg @KularHolly & @suny0ungpark did some serious work this year at #vss2023, and now some choices have to be made for how best to update the lab Wall of Science! Maybe we’ll have to rotate regularly…

This afternoon, the @serences lab has FOUR presentations on attention & working memory! Come by Talk Room 1 @ 6:00 PM for a talk by @suny0ungpark, and to the Banyan Breezeway for posters (me, @KularHolly & @jannawwennberg).
ALT Screenshot of the VSS schedule for our lab's presentations this afternoon. Sunyoung Park is presenting a talk on top-down attention in Talk Room 1 at 6:00 PM. Janna Wennberg, Kirsten Adam, & Holly Kular are presenting posters on working memory in the Banyan Breezeway from 2:45 - 6:45 Pm (Posters 348, 359, and 346).
👏👏👏 so well deserved
Happy announcement: Starting July 2023, I'll be joining Rice University as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Psychological Sciences. I'm so excited to join the Rice community and to do lots of fun science in Houston!

My first in-person conference exceeded all expectations! Thank you to the organizers and presenters. It was wonderful to make new vision science friends! #VSS2022

Excited to share our new work on infant development, which is now out in Nature Communications. We found that white matter bundles of the infant brain myelinate incredibly fast and that different white matter locations develop at different rates socialsciences.nature.com/po…

Excited to share our work on infant brain development! Even though it seems like newborns sleep a lot, their brains are incredibly hard at work building brain tissue related to myelin and synapses in sensory-motor cortex in the first 6 months of life. socialsciences.nature.com/po…

How do visual experiences shape the developing brain? #NEIfunded research suggests cortical recycling for adjusting to changing visual demands (infants: face recognition, older kids: word recognition). @JesseGomezBrain @dfinz @kalawt @KularHolly @vsnatu @StanfordBrain

Excited to share this awesome work led by Marisa Nordt where we find that the brain recycles areas to accommodate the growing cognitive demands of reading and face recognition in school-aged kids! @JesseGomezBrain @dfinz @KularHolly Alex Rezai @kalatwt nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Excited to share our new work on white matter development in infancy. We find that least mature white matter at birth myelinates fastest after birth. We also introduce babyAFQ, a new tool for white matter bundle identification in individual infants. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Amazing opportunity!!
