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
I'm very excited to announce that I will be joining the @memorylab1 team as a postdoctoral researcher starting June 2025! I will be funded by the postdoctoral fellowship of @ParkinsonCanada.
Congrats to @ankevr97 for obtaining a highly competitive 2 year postdoctoral fellowship by @ParkinsonCanada. Starting June 1st, Anke will be in the @memorylab1 continuing the @CIHR_IRSC funded RCT led by @jacopocristini that investigates the effects of exercise on sleep in PD.

New accepted paper by Ryan D. Burns from @UofU_HK🇺🇲, with @ankevr97 & @BradKing_LMN, who found that more hours of outdoor play were associated with competency in ball bouncing skills in 3-5 year old children

📢Our lab is hiring a lab tech/coordinator to assist with clinical projects involving 1) robotic leg prosthetics, 2) heat dissipation in prosthetic sockets and 3) footwear in older adults. Our lab will be at #ASB2024 - come find us. Apply by Aug 12. biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/bi…
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

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.

I am very excited that the last paper of my PhD is now published in @brainstimj! Here, prefrontal stimulation disrupted fast motor memory consolidation processes. With @DolfenNina, @BradKing_LMN, Edwin Robertson and @AlbouyGenevieve

I'm very excited to share our new preprint! We conducted a behavioral study that provides an exhaustive characterization of motor learning and memory consolidation across the human lifespan. @BradKing_LMN, @AlbouyGenevieve, and Dr. Ryan D. Burns.

It is finally online! In this new article, @AlbouyGenevieve, @DolfenNina, @BradKing_LMN, @ankevr97 and I looked at the influence of sleep on schema-facilitated motor memory integration. Spoiler alert: we didn't find any :')
