We characterized the human cognitive pupillary response. Yes, it was complicated. Yes, some reviewers and editors hated it. Yes, I’m psyched. This is some of the best science I have ever done. Congratulations are especially in order to our student co-authors, Savannah Jett and Seung Kim.
Jamie is now a Review Editor for Frontiers in Neurology. He’ll be overseeing peer review for manuscripts related to language in stroke and primary progressive aphasia.
Visit our new R.How webpages for information on specific topics related to R statistical programming. These pages cover some of the thornier topics we have faced in our working group at Temple University. Feel free to suggest any content additions.
Five more years! I am thrilled to report that our language treatment grant DC013063 has been renewed from 2019-2024. I was so stressed out that I was eating crisco right out of the jar. Thanks to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
We are now the Concepts and Cognition Laboratory. Parsimony.
