Usrey Lab hosts NeuroLunch!
We bring the science, admin brings the pizza
On October 29th - just in time for Halloween - the Usrey lab hosted NeuroLunch, a quasi-monthly UC Davis Center For Neuroscience get together where one lab spends an hour talking about its science while everybody else spends an hour eating tasty, tasty pizza. And listening to the science. Definitely listening.
For our part, Marty Usrey gave an opening introduction; Henry Alitto discussed the lab's recent paper on beta-band oscillations in the LGN; Kimchee Tran talked about recent human psychophysics investigations into on/off pathway stimulus salience differences that may relate to different surround suppression in the two pathways; Melissa Stroud gave us a presentation on her human psychophysics work that suggests the possibility that we may be able to simultaneously maintain two separate windows of spatial attention; Jeffrey Johnson provided us with a quick overview of the BrainMaps.org website.
As you can see, being only two days before Candy Day there was a Halloween theme to NeuroLunch. Full credit to Marty, Kimchee, and Melissa for actual costumes. Henry (Mr. Rogers) and Jeff (Bandwagon Baseball Fan) do NOT get participation trophies. Sorry!
