This spring, our Institute welcomed Dr. Andrew Persichetti, Director of the Memory and Perception Laboratory. Since joining, he has expanded his team with two new members and secured an R00 award from the National Eye Institute to support his lab’s work using high-resolution functional MRI to study the human brain. Dr. Persichetti and his collaborators have also published several peer-reviewed papers over the past year. We are excited to see the continued impact of Dr. Persichetti's work!

The Sensorimotor Learning Lab, directed by Dr. Amanda Therrien, investigates the precise mechanisms through which damage to different brain areas disrupts function and learning. The primary goal of the lab is to improve motor training protocols for patients with neurological disorders by enhancing our understanding of the precise sensory and motor control mechanisms that underlie their behavioral impairment(s).

The VRLAT, developed by our Institute Scientists, is an innovative virtual reality–based research tool designed to quantify the severity of left hemispatial neglect in a virtual environment that places realistic demands on attention, visual search, and ability to multi-task. It is easy to administer, demonstrates strong sensitivity and specificity, minimal practice effects, strong validity, and outperforms traditional paper-and-pencil tests in the prediction of real-world collisions. 🧠🕶️
