I'm so excited this is out!! We wrote a review about how the nature of statistical learning may change with development. Feeling very lucky to have had the dream team of mentors to think (and write) about these issues with ⭐️ @amysuefinn @megschlichting @duncanlabUofT

Thrilled to share our new preprint validating personalized fMRI state segmentation during event processing. Thanks to our amazing collaborators @amysuefinn Huiqin Chen @whartonshumthin, intrepid project lead @robyn_e_wilford and Linda Geerligs for developing the GSBS algorithm.
Robyn Wilford@robyn_e_wilford

🧠First preprint of my PhD📑 We validated the GSBS segmentation algorithm for use on individual-level fMRI data, allowing the event cognition field to begin exploring how idiosyncratic neural state shifts relate to how each of us uniquely perceive events: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

And, this was only true for entropy in the same modality as the learning task, maybe suggesting variability in sensory input early in life helps explain why SL performance doesn't always correlate across modalities, or why we see different dev. trajectories of auditory/visual SL

This helps us understand why past research shows a link between caregiver predictability and cognitive outcomes across species (hot topic @FluxSociety this week!): nuanced variation in early predictable experiences shapes the development of core learning processes early in life.

Wahoo! Was fun to get some feedback on this new line of work :)

New paper out! We show how children really are little sponges, learning to the same extent regardless of whether we tell them to focus or not! And the fact that @MarlieTandoc managed to see this through from her lab-manager days will forever impress me!! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…

Job alert! Looking for a postdoc with experience and interest in EEG, sleep, memory consolidation, and/or aging for a recently funded 3-year project. Feel free to email me with any questions. Link below for job ad: win.uwo.ca/img/Final%20jo…

This paper is now officially out in @JOCN_Journal! In it, we use intracranial recordings to explore how the brain rapidly extracts temporal structure across experiences! direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/3…
Brynn Sherman@brynnesherman

Excited to share this new project! We used intracranial recordings to covertly measure learning as it unfolds. We found that the brain abstracts across experiences *very quickly* to represent higher-order statistical regularities

I started this project in my last year of PhD! This was only possible because of tons of support from my amazing mentors, @amysuefinn and @DirkBWalther - and because amazing @tessforest scanned the kids for me after I left! Can't express how grateful I am!!

So happy that this is out (and to see it featured as I'm back from my maternity break from the Twitter world)! We showed that even when children are well attending and performing a task as asked, their brain still represents information they are supposed to ignore!

#JNeurosci: @yaelanjung, @tessforest, @DirkBWalther, and @amysuefinn @UofT show that attention works differently in children's brains compared to adults', likely allowing children to learn about facts that are not immediately relevant for a task. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

U of T researchers have shown that while children struggle to pay attention, they still take in information — even info they are instructed to ignore — and there may be many reasons why this is beneficial. Read more about the study: bit.ly/3J8CugC

Looking for a postdoc! This position would focus on understanding shifts of covert attention that occur before eye movements using EEG and eye-tracking. There would be opportunities for research on capture as well. More info here: erecruit.umsystem.edu/psp/tamext/COL…

Maternal predictability differs based on environmental affordances! Come check out these @dcnlabcolumbia lab managers’ poster this morning at #aps2023 👏🏻👏🏻

The first kid fMRI study I ever helped scan is out now! ⭐️A real joy to learn from @yaelanjung @amysuefinn and @DirkBWalther throughout this project (and the results are pretty cool, too!)
