Hi Colleagues who use eyetracking! 👋 👀 @shen4brains.bsky.social , @jordwynn.bsky.social, Zhong Xu Liu and I are guest editing a Special Issue for Neuropsychologia on Contributions of eyetracking to cognitive neuroscience.

New paper from our team led by the incredibly talented Dr. Erik Wing (with Jordan Chad, Geneva Mariotti and @drjenryan.bsky.social). www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

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...

Memory might depend on when you look, not just what you see Happy to share a new preprint from my postdoctoral work with Jed Meltzer, @drjenryan.bsky.social, and @rosannaolsen.bsky.social Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Memory problems will change how you see the world...literally 👀 Across two new papers, we examined the eye movement patterns of younger adults, older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and amnesic cases. 1/5

Well this brought tears to my eyes 😭 thank you so much @mariamaly.bsky.social ❤️ funny thing is, we had a really hard time getting this published. Rejected from other journals. Reviewers who said “everyone knows the hippocampus does conscious/explicit memory, so the data must be wrong”….1/n

Writing sucks. It sucks so much for everyone at every stage that I wrote a blog post about it, and I discuss some strategies to make it more enjoyable. 1/3 drjenryan.com/the-keys-blo...

“…justify military ops in Mexico/Canada.” This is reprehensible. Stay on your representatives, everyone. Tagging mine in here; reminding you that these are allies AND you have constituents- like me- living in these countries: @duckworth.senate.gov @budzinski.house.gov @durbin.senate.gov

It is so disheartening that it has come to this. For those who are still going to the US, particularly for CNS in Boston, please make sure you have a plan. Share your flight itinerary with someone, and check in with them when you get through arrivals. Other tips?? Please share 👇

“…hope is the consequence of action, rather than its cause.” Inspiring vision, message, and playbook that I think we, as scientists, can adopt as well to counteract the cruel cuts being made to science and education in the US.

From a friend: DOGE threw out every living plant in NASA’s HQ, even the ones on people’s desks, because ‘watering plants is a waste of taxpayers’ money’. So that’s how this is going.

A lot still to do… Academia can be a challenging place, and it’s one of many reasons why I am committing to writing a weekly blog this year to try to do *something/anything* to help out. Blog is here: drjenryan.com/the-keys-blog And if you have feedback, questions or topics in mind, let me know!

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

@itsafronomics.bsky.social put together a list of starter packs with Black academics, scientists, and more. This #BlackHistoryMonth follow Black people, center & raise their voices, don't ask them to do work for you, but listen. (This entire thread is 🔥) bsky.app/profile/itsa... #BlackHisyoryMonth

So. You’re realizing federal funding for your research is not as stable as you thought. Let’s talk crowdfunding. 🧵

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:

To our many American friends. The National Academies have assembled a package of resources for researchers facing threats or attacks in the US www.nationalacademies.org/chr/resource...

Congratulations @rachaelelward.bsky.social @lauren-ford.bsky.social 🎉 great conversation on a great show! 🤩

Honored that Dr.Jennifer Ryan took the time to write a dispatch on our recent paper "Brain and eye movement dynamics track the transition from learning to memory-guided action". Its a truly excellent summary of the study: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Proud of my first contribution to memory research: “Brain and eye movement dynamics track the transition from learning to memory-guided action” out in @currentbiology.bsky.social, great team effort together with Janina Klingspohr, Marcel Kehl & Bernhard Staresina. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Can you predict the future? Your brain and your eyes can. 🧵 I had the honour of writing a @currentbiology.bsky.social Dispatch in which I discuss exciting new findings from @philippbuchel.bsky.social, Klingspohr, Kehl & Staresina (2024). Read the Dispatch here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 1/3

Early commute = beauty sunrises from subway platforms 🌞

Excited to be a part of this! Check out our talks and discussions starting tomorrow and let us know what you think! 🤩

Come see Anisha talk about how amnesic cases BL and DA fare on an eye movement analogue of path integration. Happening now at B129!🥳

Excited to share a preprint on sleep + memory transformation with co-first author Stephanie Simpson & @brianlevine.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

Happy New Year, peeps! I am happy to announce our lab's first paper of 2024 led by graduate student Lydia Jiang! doi.org/10.1002/hipo...
