| Our lab would not have missed “Meet a scientist“, the annual event organized by the Science Factory Museum. Kids participated in an ongoing experiment and helped us display the results on a chart using tiny star stickers. It was fun, but coloring a brain hat remained their favorite activity! |

Cait got an award from the National Institute of Aging
Cait has obtained the Postdoctoral National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Aging.
The title of her project is “Memory precisions and generalization: aging effects on the cognitive and neural basis of adaptive memory function”.
Brain and Memory lab at 6th Annual SPICE! Science Open House 2016
|
Last September, the Science Program to Inspire Creativity and Excellence (SPICE) and UO STEM CORE held the 6th annual “Science Open House”. Cait, Lea, and Alex were at the Brain and Memory lab’s booth, showing kids what an experiment looks like in our lab. Kids particularly enjoyed seeing their brain activity with our mobile EEG headset! |
Cait and Alex will present posters at SFN!
Cait and Alex will each present a poster at Neuroscience 2016, a Society For Neuroscience conference that will take place in San Diego next November. The title of Cait’s poster is “Neural representations of concepts and exemplars: comparing generalization and recognition”. Alex’s poster is entitled “Trial timing in fMRI designs for pattern information analyses”.
Welcome to our lab Jessie!

Our lab got a new research assitant: Jessie Moyer. She is an undergraduate student studying psychology who is particularly interested in social psychology and in how reasoning and perception help develop relationships between individuals. Welcome Jessie! |
