A post-migration re-#introduction!

I’m currently a postdoc in Marlene Behrmann’s lab at Carnegie Mellon. I’m broadly interested in understanding the #psychology and #neuroscience underlying the #development of cognitive abilities such as categorization.

Recently I’ve been exploring the broader biological network that support object categorization in adults (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2022.09.019) and the #computational processes that support few-shot learning in infancy (e.g., https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.74943)

Hippocampus & perirhinal cortex are important for memory – but discrepancies across nonhuman primate lesion studies complicate conclusions about their roles

A new meta-analysis by Betsy Murray and colleagues shows that hippocampus contributes more to location memory & perirhinal cortex contributes more to visual item recognition

Some thoughts on my first year as a PI 👇🏾
I wrote this before Christmas and have been waffling about posting it in case it seems too whiny or privileged, but it's something I'd be interested in reading if I were still a postdoc or trainee
