My first paper with @LourencoLab and in Grad School!! Thank you for the input on this project @ArberTasimi, @DilksLab, @nikita1304. Looking forward to more papers coming out.

New article by @KruRyno where he shows that facial dominance predicts intelligence. Children expect dominant-looking individuals to be "really smart." Less consistent in these data was a gender stereotype about intelligence. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Facial dominance overrides gender in children’s stereotypes about intelligence

Check out our latest paper! We provide developmental and neuropsychological evidence that recognizing places and navigating through them are dissociable systems jneurosci.org/content/jneuro… @FreddyKamps @RebeccaRennert @SamaFRadwan Stephanie Wahab @JordanPincus

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

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. links.emory.edu/Fm

#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). @DilksLab @OxfordJournals: bit.ly/3TrNz0d
Image divided in four quadrants with street views. Upper left reads "Walking"; upper right reads "Crawling"; bottom left reads "Flying" and bottom right reads "Scrambled". Caption: Watching videos from the perspective of walking (top left) elicited activity in the occipital place area, while watching videos from the perspective of crawling (top right), flying (bottom left), or scrambled (bottom right) did not.

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"! academic.oup.com/cercor/adva…

Also, thanks for the great feature @NIH! nih.gov/news-events/news-rel…

Visually navigating on foot uses unique brain region

Occipital place area supports visually guided navigation, but only when walking; not crawling.

My latest paper exploring what precisely characterizes visual stimuli as a scene, and thereby drives human cortical scene processing!

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 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

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....
