Image and Imagination: The Science, Engineering, and Aesthetics of Imaging
In recognition and celebration of the recent agreement connecting NYU and Polytechnic University (now the Polytechnic Institute of NYU), a joint forum will be held on October 24 to highlight ongoing innovations across our combined communities in the multidisciplinary area of imaging.
Logothetis talk at Columbia
Nikos K. Logothetis is giving a talk titled: From Single Neuron Activity to Visual Cognition
Staresina, Gray, and Davachi Published in Cerebral Cortex
Bernhard, Jim and Lila have published their work on subsequent memory effects involving congruent ('plausible') events. They report on critical fMRI as well as behavioral results.
SfN 2008 - Washington D.C.
Society for Neuroscience 2008 conference will be held in Washington D.C. this year. The Davachilab will be presenting several on-going projects.
NYU's Cognition and Perception Miniconvention
At the start of the academic year NYU's Psychology and CNS departments feature first and second students' projects in a one day miniconvention. Students present their projects through brief presentations in tandem with a formal paper and committee evaluation on their progress.
Litman and Davachi Published in Learning and Memory
Leib's memory consolidation study has been published in the September issue(15) of Learning and Memory. Leib's work focuses on distributed vs. mass learning and finds striking performance differences between the two.
Staresina and Davachi Published in J. Cog Neuro
Bernhard's experiment (Con-Con) has been published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Bernhard's main findings draw distinctions between hippocampal and perirhinal activations during episodic memory formation.
Awipi and Davachi published in JEP
Tari's experiment (ROB) has been published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition. Published in the July issue, a special section on integrative approaches to source memory, Tari's paper is featured among several source-encoding and MTL focused articles.
Collaboration with McElree Lab Published in J. Cog Neuro
Ilke Ă–ztekin from the McElree lab here at NYU has collaborated with Lila and Bernhard in an fMRI study of Working Memory retrieval. "The data implicate the hippocampus and the LIFG in retrieval from WM, complementing their established role in long-term memory. Results further suggest that the left posterior parietal cortex (LPPC) supports serial retrieval processes that are often required to recover temporal order information. Together, these data suggest that the LPPC, the LIFG, and the hippocampus collectively support WM retrieval."
Davachi and Dobbins Collaborate on Review Article in Current Directors in Psychological Science
Lila worked with Ian Dobbins from Washington University to publish an article elaborating on how neuroimaging methods have informed psychological theories of declarative memory.
