We find that our visually-guided navigation abilities are later to develop than our scene categorization abilities and Williams syndrome adults are impaired in visually guided navigation, but not scene categorization, relative to mental age-matched children
Check out our latest paper! We provide developmental and neuropsychological evidence that recognizing places and navigating through them are dissociable systems

Emory's @DilksLab and two of his students scanned subjects’ brains and found that the occipital place area (OPA), a structure within the occipital lobes, was only activated while subjects viewed the walking video. https://t.co/8jwRpnc262
#NEIfunded study at @EmoryUniversity:
Using vision to move through an area by foot uses a unique region of the brain: the occipital place area (OPA). This area does not activate in other modes of moving (like crawling).

Check out our latest paper! We find that OPA represents visual information about walking, not crawling, despite us having once navigated from a crawling "perspective"!

Check out our latest paper, written by the amazing @AnnieRHCheng & Ray Chen! They investigate what makes a scene a scene using a stimulus-driven approach

Very strong math and computer skills and a serious interest in the human brain required.
This position is an ideal stepping stone toward to graduate programs in cognitive neuroscience.
Cool kids wear #brainvote pins, and it looks awesome with hair bun, too! From Danny’s Cognitive neuroscience of vision undergrad seminar. Check out @Nancy_Kanwisher thread, and please vote, all the current/future neuroscientists!
Dear fellow profs, especially those of you in swing states:
According to the Higher Education Act of 1965, it is not only our right, but our obligation to teach civic engagement. We have at least some influence over our students, so let’s use it!
Here are some ideas....
Hi. I'm hiring an experimental lab tech (Georgia Tech, Atlanta, US). Please see the ad for details. Get in touch if interested in handling mice, doing surgery, behavioral & neural experiments and building rigs! Please help spread the word. Thank you! https://t.co/TO7FaAlaFA
Very happy to announce THINGS-data, three massive datasets of fMRI, MEG and similarity ratings of thousands of object images. THINGS-data offers a uniquely broad, systematic and multimodal sampling of object space. For early access please reach out! https://t.co/rUrAvPKIoX
