Karen Sasmita and Jacqueline Kim present at Psychonomics 2023

Interested in events and naturalistic perception? What about attention? Or memory? Come check out our posters at Psychonomics Friday evening (11/17)!

Karen Sasmita, a graduate student, will present her work examining how functional connectivity of the hippocampus changes around event boundaries during naturalistic viewing.

Jacqueline Kim, an undergraduate honors student, will present her findings from analyses of EEG data that examined the effects of attentional manipulations on the gamma primacy effect (increased EEG spectral power in the gamma band at the beginning of a word list encoding).

Congratulations to Dr. Adam Broitman!

In April, Adam Broitman successfully defended his dissertation, titled “Temporal Attention Modulates Episodic Encoding and EEG Subsequent Memory Effects.” His dissertation focused on the attentional boost effect and the degree to which target detection facilitates aspects of episodic memory using behavioral and electrophysiological measures. Adam started a postdoctoral position, working with Michael Kahana at the University of Pennsylvania. Congratulations Adam!
