How does the brain transform experiences into memories, and how does memory influence experience? We study how attention and perception affect what we remember, and

how memory can in turn guide our attention, perception, and goal-directed behavior. 

the latest news

Congrats to Zall for his 4-experiment preprint on how long-term memory and working memory compete and cooperate to guide attention! Is working memory more distracting? Check out the paper (Publications page) to find out!

​

Congrats to Manasi and Chinmayi for their 4-experiment preprint on how attentional fluctuations influence (or don't influence!) the temporal organization of memory.  The results will shock you! You can find the paper on our Publications page.

 

Congratulations to Paul for his paper on amygdala-mPFC development! He took a mulltiverse approach (2808 parallel analyses!) to show that amygdala reactivity, but not amygdala-mPFC coupling, declines w/ age. Check out his paper on our Publications page!

How do dynamic threats affect our ability to navigate in an efficient way? Check out Brian's preprint on our Publications page!
