Dataset available: trial timing for multivariate pattern analysis
We have published the dataset described in trial timing for multivariate pattern analysis in OpenfMRI. It is available here. This data was collected to investigate experimental design optimization for pattern-information approaches to fMRI data analysis. Participants were scanned while encoding images of animals and tools. There were 5 different stimulus presentation designs, and each participant completed to runs under each design. The designs varied in the number of trials and trial timing within fixed duration scans. Trial timing conditions with fixed onset-to-onset timing ranged from slow 12-s trials with two repetitions of each item to quick 6-s trials with four repetitions per item. We also tested a jittered version of the quick design with 4–8 s trials. After the scans, participants completed a memory test.
Welcome Max and Chris!
Max and Chris are now part of our team. They will help us with experiment preparation and data collection. Here is some info about them:
|
Max is a senior at the University of Oregon. He’s majoring in biology with an emphasis on neuroscience and behavior. Next year he plans on attending graduate school to study computational approaches to cognitive neuroscience. He is interested in the neurobiological underpinnings of the human capacity to revise one’s beliefs and opinions when confronted with new evidence or new arguments, and how this capacity changes over the course of human life. |
|
Native Chicagoian with an affinity for the outdoors, rock climbing, and reading, Christopher enjoys traveling, performing and attending music shows in his free time as well as learning more about the sciences. |
Melissa joined our lab
Melissa is majoring in human physiology and minoring in chemistry in the Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon. She is interested in neuroanatomy and behavioral neuroscience. For future plans, she wants to attend medical school to become a neurosurgeon after graduation.
Welcome Amanda and Melissa!
Alex just joined our lab
| Alex is an undergraduate student at Skidmore College double-majoring in psychology and economics. She is interested in cognitive and clinical psychology and wants to pursue clinical psychology as a career. She plans to attend graduate school after graduation. She will stay two months with us and we are glad to have her. |

Welcome Jessica Barragan
| Jessica will spent part of her summer in our lab with UO Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR). She is currently an undergraduate at the California State University of Fullerton majoring in psychology and is particularly interested in cognitive and developmental psychology, within the legal realm. She plans to attend a doctoral program upon graduation. Welcome Jessica! |

Meet Kate Gladhart-Hayes, our new research assistant
| Kate just joined our lab and we are so glad to have her. She is an undergraduate at the University of Puget Sound majoring in Science, Technology, and Society with a concentration in Neuroscience. She is interested in neuroscience and trauma and planning to pursue a career in Physical or Occupational Therapy. She will stay with us until the end of the summer |
