I'm excited to share the preprint of my 3rd PhD paper! We examined post-task persistence of task-related brain activity in children. 🧠
Children exhibit greater persistence of motor learning-related patterns of hippocampal activity into post-task wake epochs biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… #biorxiv_neursci

The past few weeks have been tiring but so amazing! - I got to attend @neurostatscamp - I officially proposed my dissertation project - I was granted a fellowship that will support me financially during the last year of my Ph.D. - my first first-author paper was published

Seven to 12-year-old children showed greater gains on a motor sequence task across post-learning periods than older participants, suggesting a developmental advantage in offline motor memory consolidation. @ankevr97 @BradKing_LMN @AlbouyGenevieve nature.com/articles/s44271-0…

In case others find it useful, here’s a Reading List I gave yesterday in my undergrad class “Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience” at @UMontreal 👉 The articles discuss how discriminatory practices & biases can manifest in various aspects of #EEG research & neuroimaging. 1/n 🧵👇
