Dipin received a Nevada Undergraduate Research Award for Spring 2024!
07/02/2023: Ack! Many overdue updates!
Ashley's paper on whether you can "split the beam" and pay attention to mulitple locations stored in WM (upshot: no) was published in AP&P this spring! Check out the publications page for the manuscript and data/code
Papers from Eddie's former FAU grad students Asal Nouri and Paige Pytel were accepted at iScience and NeuroImage, respectively. Check out the publications page for the papers and data/code!
Canhuang presented preliminary findings from a project designed to disentangle the role of sensory vs. mnemonic factors at the 2023 meeting of the Vision Sciences Society.
Rachel finished her BS in Psych from UNR and accepted a position as a post-bac clinical trial coordinator at UNLV. Naturally we're sorry to see her leave the lab, but we know she's on to great things!
08/19/2022: Canhuang and Rachel will be presenting at the Society for Neuroscience meeting this fall! Come visit us!
