We’re excited to welcome our EEG system into the lab! Our brand new BioSemi ActiveThree will support our neural data collection to study how temporal dynamics of attention are reflected in the brain. A big thank you to @cortechsolutions.bsky.social and Lloyd Smith for an incredible training session!

Wonderful memories from the Connected Minds Retreat! The QuAD Lab at our February gathering, where researchers came together to share insights and build collaborations. This is what interdisciplinary community looks like—learning, connecting, and advancing research together!

It was an absolute privilege and pleasure welcoming @churchillfship.bsky.social cultural thinker Suzanne Alleyne as a Visiting Artist to the @quadlab.bsky.social last week! www.churchillfellowship.org/ideas-expert...

Her work looks at understanding power through the cognitive & social processes that sustain it, and we had great chats about how attention sits at the heart of this. Thanks to her & her team for their passion and for broadening my own views on how attention can be used to create equitable spaces

We are excited to share that our PI @effiejp.bsky.social was awarded the Ontario Research Fund grant for her work with uncovering the temporal dynamics of selective attention!

Excited to share that our lab attended the 2026 @connectedminds.bsky.social retreat @yorkuniversity.bsky.social. We had an amazing time meeting so many wonderful people, learning about exciting new projects, sharing our own research, and making new connections!

Our lab was excited to return to the LOVE Conference in Niagara Falls this year with our two master's students, and our lab coordinator, to share some of our exciting ongoing studies @queensuresearch.bsky.social and to contribute to ongoing conversations in the field. @connectedminds.bsky.social

So excited to share that our PI Dr. Pereira @queensuresearch.bsky.social was just at the Science Meets Parliament 2025! @connectedminds.bsky.social
