Visual Word Form Area demonstrates individual and task-agnostic consistency but inter-individual variability
Ventral Occipital Temporal Cortex (VOTC) is home to a mosaic of categorically-selective functional regions that respond to visual stimuli. Within left VOTC lies the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) - a te...

My first PhD paper is out! I want to thank my advisors @jyeatman.bsky.social and Ben, and my collaborators (Amy, Adam, @klint.bsky.social , and Clem) and many people (including school partners) who supported this work! Nothing can be more rewarding to see ROAR-CAT helping classrooms every day! 🐈

Happy to announce that my first preprint with @jyeatman.bsky.social and @mayayablonski.bsky.social is live! After 4 yrs of collecting data, we've learned a lot about the potential for and constraints of learning-induced plasticity from this longitudinal reading intervention study shorturl.at/W2UMO

Some exciting progress being made in the dyslexia world right now. Very proud of my colleagues in Brain Development & Education Lab @stanforduniversity.bsky.social for all their hard work getting the ROAR approved as a dyslexia screener for the state of California.

State takes another step toward mandatory testing for reading difficulties in 2025
Districts will have four options for screening instruments to identify reading difficulties among students in kindergarten through second grade.
