Mathematical vocabulalry may play a critical role in children's fraction skiills? See our new publication! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Are young children’s brains already wired to understand fractions? See nice write-up of our recent article! waisman.wisc.edu/2025/08/08/…
Excited to share one of my PhD projects with @EdNeuroLab-the first neuroimaging study on fraction processing in children! Our findings showed that even 2nd graders, who haven't received formal fraction instruction, can process fraction magnitudes. dx.doi.org/10.1111/desc.7004…

I am excited to announce that I will be starting my own research group at the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health @uni_tue in Tübingen ! My group will investigate the mechanisms of altered brain function in brain disorders using personalized biophysical whole-brain models.

Hippocampal encoding of memories in human infants. Great to see this important study out now in @ScienceMagazine from the lab of Nicholas Turk-Browne @Yale @CIFAR_News science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…

I am so excited to announce that our first #fNIRS study of #math_cognition in #South_Africa is now out as a preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/4su7j
It has been a great collaboration with Kathleen Fonseca, Parvin Nemati, @AliRahimpourJ, and @ElbieHenning
Finally it's out! Short‐term number sense training can recapitulate long‐term neurodevelopmental changes from childhood to adolescence. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Integrated number sense tutoring remediates aberrant neural representations in children with mathematical disabilities biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
Preregistered Preprint Alert! Math language matters for children’s fraction arithmetic ability, not analog representations of non-symbolic magnitudes! Feel so good that my covid-era study is finally out:) osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/65… @PercivalMatthe2

RCTs can play a role in building scientific knowledge and useful predictions but they can only do so as part of a cumulative program, combining with other methods, including conceptual and theoretical development, to discover not ‘what works’, but ‘why things work’.

Bella presented our idea for a new study on the neural bases of rational number processing and whole number bias. Come find us if you want to chat about it! #MCLS2023 @bella_starling

What if you don’t model response times in fMRI models? Biased condition difference estimates and potential surprising fake group associations. Our paper has the details and fixes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
TY! @russpoldrack @patrickgbissett @IndianaJonesSr @sunjae_shim @JaimeGotobed
Congrats Alex!! Knew it!!
I've just accepted a tenure-track faculty job starting August 2023 in Educational/Developmental Psychology @UWEauClaire!! I am so excited to get back to teaching and feel very grateful to be moving so close to family! 🧵1/x

Based on n = 536 (7.5-15 yo) we found brain-wide associations between arithmetic skills and GMV of perisylvian regions, suggesting a role for language processing in individual differences in arithmetic skills @DrJeromePrado .
Preprint is now available RG:

Our latest paper published by npj Science of Learning @Nature_NPJ shows that cognitive interventions can promote growth mindset and learning in children through brain plasticity: doi.org/10.1038/s41539-022-0…

So many cool people have been posting they are recruiting a grad student! Here's to getting over the imposter syndrome.
Are you interested in socialization, STEM education, culture & development, or informal learning?
I am accepting a graduate student to start Fall 2023 at @ucsc!

Let's connect! Our lab is looking to connect to the wider neuroscience community on Twitter: cognitive and systems neuroscience, psychology, neuroimaging, computational modeling, brain disorders, and intersections of AI and neuroscience. @StanfordBrain @StanfordPSY
