Wrapping up with our final talk session of #TAMeG2025, some incredible talks on memory using non-behavioural methods 🧠🔬

The second talk session of #TAMeG2025 is underway featuring talks on memory across development and cultural considerations for memory disorders 👶🏽🧠

The second half of Data Blitz 1 #TAMeG2025 featured talks on childhood neural synchrony driving broader attention, cardiac modulation of familiarity in aging, vascular risk impacting midlife female brain connectivity, and lastly how semantic congruence steers episodic recall in children & adults🧠

Kicking off the first TAMeG talk session of the conference with a deep dive into memory, from retrieval and reactivation to the complexities of false memory and cognitive offloading 🧠🤔 #TAMeG2025

#TAMeG2025 is coming and it's gonna be good!

Thrilled to see the incomparable Dr. @cesopenko.bsky.social today who shared her research and advocacy work for the millions affected by intimate partner violence. Such naches!

GTA researchers register NOW #TAMeG2025 feat @charan-neuro.bsky.social w SciComm panel C Boyce @schalllab.bsky.social & @barense.bsky.social Don't miss our 10th Anniv Gala 🎊 feat alumni panel @diamondn.bsky.social @ivabrunec.bsky.social, S Pishdadian, S Parimoo & S Rosenbaum tameg.weebly.com

Check out this coverage of our work on trauma, imagery, and PTSD led by @rcyeung.bsky.social.

Check out our posters on on eye tracking (from fMRI BOLD signal!), VERY remote memory, and cortical thickness in SDAM at #CNS2025 on Sun. (...and Pavlov's Dogz right after)! @kmitchnick.bsky.social @ryanyeung.bsky.social

Pleased that our review on space and memory by C. Fan, @hmsokolowski.bsky.social, S. Rosenbaum, and me was a top-cited article in WIREs Cog Sci in 2023. (Feat cover by Sadie Levine). wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19395086...

Thrilled to see our study -- @diamondn.bsky.social @brianlevine.bsky.social and many others -- published in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social We find that sleep enhances memory for the order of events from an art tour, but not the details of the events; and this advantage persisted for over a year! 😴

Excited to see this big collaborative project out in the world @naturehumbehav.bsky.social ! Sleep actively enhances memory for the temporal sequence - but not sensory details - of our real-life experiences, even months-to-years later. 🧠 oscillations matter. Original 🧵: bsky.app/profile/diam...

Thrilled to see this paper out in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social after years of work by Drs. @diamondn.bsky.social and @stefsimpson.bsky.social, with Drs. Stuart Fogel, Daniel Baena, and Brian J Murray! @baycrestfoundation.bsky.social

It was a fierce lab battle at ParTeePutt: Team RA vs Team PI!

Another honour for @hmsokolowski.bsky.social who was just named as a Rising Star by @psychscience.bsky.social!

#TAMeG2025 is coming (our 10th anniversary!) May 27 feat keynote @charan-neuro.bsky.social and panel on SciCom & Disinformation, with Carrie Boyce of RCIScience, @schalllab.bsky.social & @barense.bsky.social (chair) Call for presentations is open for GTA and southern ON trainees 👉 tameg.ca!

Proud of @diamondn.bsky.social and Stephanie Simpson for this multiexperiment study of sleep & memory for a real-life event (The Baycrest Tour). We got above-baseline sleep-related enhancement for sequence memory, enduring for over a year, related to spindle-SW coupling!

📣 Hey Toronto memory researchers! Mark your calendars for the 8th spring meeting of the Toronto Area Memory Group (TAMeG), featuring @tyrellturing.bsky.social. May 7, 2024. Panel topic and call for papers coming in the new year. PIs: please notify your trainees.

I was fortunate to share my observations about Brenda Draney's paintings and memory at the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto this year. You can read my remarks here! www.thepowerplant.org/learn-and-ex...

Hello friends. Good to be here. Are you are member of CNS? If so please consider voting for our symposium: Subjectivity: Who cares? organized by Brad Buchsbaum, Andy Yonelinas, and me with @pstjacques.bsky.social and Wilma Bainbridge.
