Just completed a peer review for JADD (Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders). Good to get to contribute to the scientific process from the other side. It’s unexpectedly empowering to get to evaluate work in your field. @VanderbiltU @VandyWallaceLab @VanderbiltBrain

I'm honored to receive a poster award at the @acialliance #CI2024Vancouver conference for second place in the rehabilitation category! This work wouldn't be possible without our wonderful study participants and endless support from my mentors @VandyWallaceLab and @rhgifford.

One thing I didn’t expect about monkey training/shaping was how individualized motivating them is: time of day, juice type, snack breaks, nap breaks, timeout length, secondary rewards, stochastic rewards, whether they like even the experimenter etc. very fun & very challenging!
Mouse training is an art form, but there is one tenet I stand by: they naturally go from being hypermotivated to not motivated, and while you may control this to an extent by adjusting reward-to-punishment ratio, it's best to sort trials into states (e.g. Ashwood et al. 2022).

Be sure to stop by to learn about our graduate program at #SfN2023 and grab some gifties 👀
Good morning #sfn2024! Come visit us at the ENDURE graduate fair and hear about graduate programs at Vanderbilt. Special thanks to @VanderbiltBrain and @vandypharm for the amazing swag.

I’m en route to #SfN2023! Shoot me a DM or reply here if you’d like to meet up. Or come to my poster “Perception of Auditory, Visual, and Audiovisual Motion Direction in Macaque Monkeys” Monday from 11-12 in the cross-modal processing and multisensory integration session.

My research lab is recruiting participants for a sensory study. I'm in 2 very interesting labs researching sensory neuroscience. In layman's terms the @AutismLASR lab looks at it from an internal perspective and @VandyWallaceLab looks at it from an external perspective.

I think this is the second time you beat me to the tweet @AV_SP! Happy to see this find a home. The visual system builds linguistic representations from visual speech that can be used to track the content of the speech. Neat.

We still have a postdoc position in my lab at @HHMIJanelia where we use approaches like this to figure out how mice can quickly learn flexible computations by building and using models of their environment. Get in touch if this sound fun and interesting!
It's an unspoken fact that freely moving lab mice are not really freely moving. We came up with a method to change this. See the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/3)
