Fascinating discussion of methods for ERP analysis and the effects of stigma on physiological factors at the President's Symposium on Diversity, Equity, and Representation! #SPR2026

Woke up early for "Publishing a Society Journal in the Age of AI: Challenges and Opportunities" and didn't regret it. Great to hear both concerns and optimism for the future of publishing. #SPR2026

Cloze-ing out today's symposia at #SPR2026 symposium "Using electrophysiology to study lifespan changes in inter-related language and memory mechanisms"! From Alfred Hitchcock to Harry Potter knowledge, so many fascinating ways to study language development @TheRealSPR

Starting the morning off at #SPR2026 with a Big Idea Symposium: "Inferring Mechanism from Physiological Measures"! Some amazing work on understanding fear generalization, autonomic regulation, reward positivity, fear-biased attention and telomere length, and more. @TheRealSPR

SFFTs and wavelets and SpecParam (oh my!) at "Advances in the Analysis of Oscillatory Brain Activity" at #2025SPR this afternoon. Always great to learn more about EEG in the frequency domain! @TheRealSPR

Fascinating time at my first #2025SPR symposium of the day: "Towards New Perspectives on Body-Brain Dynamics: Innovations in Measurement and Clinical Implications." Learned about the connections between the mind and heart, as well as between the mind and stomach!
