Improved autobiographical memory with central thalamic deep brain stimulation in traumatic brain injury

Impaired autobiographical memory (AM) (memory of personal events) is a debilitating consequence of traumatic brain injury), affecting daily life. There is

Thrilled to see this review by the spectacular @hannahtarder-stoll.bsky.social et al. published.

Hannah Tarder-Stoll@hannahtarder-stoll.bsky.social · 6mo ago

How do memories guide behaviour? Multiple memory representations, from detailed to gist-like, let us flexibly reconstruct or reproduce past experiences to behave adaptively across species. Now out in Physiological Reviews with Morris Moscovitch, Melanie Sekeres & @brianlevine.bsky.social!

Congrats to @hmsokolowski.bsky.social on seeing this 3-study paper on imagery, occupation, and gender through!

Moriah Sokolowski@hmsokolowski.bsky.social · 8mo ago

New paper from my postdoc with @brianlevine.bsky.social now out in #PersonalityandIndividualDifferences! We examined how different types of visual imagery relate to #STEM occupations across genders using a dimensional approach to code occupational attributes. 🔗 t.co/jX6214ZY2X

Aligning eye tracking and free recall time series, we found that increased saccades predict episodic (vs. non-episodic) by 0.5 s. Just out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social, led by Ryan Barker with the inimitable @drjenryan.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Honoured to add my name to the ledger book of the @src-rsc.bsky.social last week in Montreal, joining those of my mentors With thanks to my trainees, colleagues, @baycrest.bsky.social and my family #rscBRAVOsrc video: lnkd.in/gXvwR2e4 @baycrestfoundation.bsky.social @uoftpsychology.bsky.social

Pleased to see this @newyorker.com piece featuring our work on imagery and autobiographical memory. @baycrest.bsky.social @baycrestfoundation.bsky.social @uoftpsychology.bsky.social

The New Yorker@newyorker.com · 9mo ago

Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it?

I was delighted to receive the Edith Kaplan Award from the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society and to reunite with my postdoctoral companions maxine krengel, Susan McGlynn and former supervisors Nancy Hebben and Bill Milberg!

Thrilled to see this award to the outstanding Dr. Ryan Yeung for his work on subjectivity and the brain!

UofT Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship@uoftschmidtai.bsky.social · 10mo ago

We're excited to welcome Ryan Yeung as a Cohort 3 #SchmidtAIinSci Fellow! Ryan works with Professors Brian Levine and Bradley Buchsbaum. His project uses deep neural networks to objectively decode subjective experiences in the brain.🧠

I was honoured to be elected to the 2025 class of Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada. I am grateful to my trainees, research assistants, funders, and donors who have made our research possible.
