I will be presenting my latest endeavor on spatial navigation strategy optimization featuring RL modeling and a new DSP task!
And here's link to our fleet: scannlab.org/psynom-2025

See you around the Poster session I at I-069!

The SCANN Lab will be at @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social this week (except for @stevenmweisberg.bsky.social - he's stuck in Texas.)

If you're there, connect with our awesome PhD students!

And if you're NOT there, you can still follow our work. www.scannlab.org/psynom-2025

A huge thankyou to @alexaroblesgil.bsky.social for covering our research in the Marshall Islands for the @nytimes.com !

In the photo Ken Daniels (an expert indigenous sailor) is looking towards the horizon whilst wearing an fNIRS system.

Analysis underway!

what happens when you spend two weeks learning new navigation or memory skills? as shown in our recent paper below, brain network connectivity changes but not hippocampal or other brain volumes! special thanks to collaborators Li Zheng and Steve Weisberg

Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills in humans elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure
Learning new navigation or memory skills engages flexible brain network dynamics without altering gray matter, white matter, or hippocampal structure.
