How does self-control really work in the moment?
Yale psychologist Melissa Ferguson and her team used mouse-tracking to study what happens in the split seconds when we face temptation. The findings show that decision-making is often more gradual than we think. #Yale

Measuring temptation one mouse click at a time
In a Q&A Yale psychologist Melissa Ferguson explains how “mouse-tracking” gives researchers a better glimpse into how people really summon self-control in the face of temptation -- or fail to.

Come check out my poster at #SfN, Wed (8am-12pm, NN1)!
"Auditory and multisensory representations in the human hippocampus"
Using high-resolution fMRI, we ask how does the human hippocampus represent sensory modalities beyond vision, and how does it integrate sense information across modalities?
