Mara Mather

A research career is such an adventure for the curious mind. I feel so lucky to be able to continually learn and explore. I’m currently most fascinated by the noradrenergic system and how to optimize its function, especially in the aging brain.

Reading #fMRI methods when it's not your field sounds like a psychedelic voyage:

"Functional scans were collected using a T2*-weighted echo-planar imaging sequence with a multi-band acceleration factor of 4. A field map with dual echo-time images was acquired to correct for geometric distortions due to susceptibility-induced field inhomogeneities. Structural scans were acquired using a T1-weighted MPRAGE sequence with 1x1x1mm voxel resolution. We discarded the first six volumes to allow for scanner equilibration."

Finally made the jump to neuromatch so time for re-#introduction:

Hi #ScienceMastodon! I'm a neuroscience PhD working in science administration. During my PhD, I studied emotion and decision-making in patients with chronic focal brain damage and those undergoing surgery for epilepsy.

After my PhD I completed the AAAS Science and Technology Policy fellowship and made the jump from bench to science policy. These days I'm involved in cognitive and affective #neuroscience as it relates to #aging and #Alzheimers.

Just published today - a description of our publicly available dataset (N>150) with resting-state fMRI, PCASL, MRS, and emotion regulation and decision tasks + physiological measures (HRV, blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and end-tidal CO2) nature.com/articles/s41597-023

Dr. Brenda Milner. A towering figure in neuropsychology for over half a century and my academic grandmother. Amongst her many achievements, I just learned from this article, she survived the Spanish flu as a girl and COVID - twice at 104 years old. apple.news/AF3WXoKxPQUa48bAt3i

New preprint!

"About time? The role of time perspective in the priority for positive over negative emotion in attention"

This paper with Briana Kennedy examines when positive pictures grab attention more than negative pictures in the emotion-induced blindness paradigm.

@NicoleCRust I loved that book.

@harrisonritz so far paperpile is amazing - so much better than zotero.

@harrisonritz I'm going to try Paperpile now! So frustrated with Zotero at the moment.

2023-01-10

Is there reference manager software that is better than Zotero that can work with both Word and Google docs?

@ASAPbio Wow this is amazing news. A step towards freedom from the for-profit publishing industry for science.
