Richard Huskey to Present at SANS23

The Lab is excited to present our latest work investigating inter-brain synchrony and its relationship with collaborative task performance at this year’s meeting of the Social and Affective Neuroscience Society! In this study, novel participant pairs complete a naturalistic Augmented Reality Tangram task while wearing EEG headsets. Results show that increased pairwise inter-brain synchrony is associated with increased task performance.

Richard Huskey will present the poster at SANS this year (Poster 3-F-18) on Saturday from 2:00 – 3:30pm.

A Career Viewed in the Rearview Mirror: Lessons Learned and Lessons Ignored

Dr. Bob Glushko

Since receiving my Ph.D. from UCSD in 1979, I’ve worked in “big company” applied research, for a boutique consulting firm, as an independent consultant, as a co-founder of two Silicon Valley start-ups, as an engineering director for the company that bought my second start-up, and as an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley. It felt at times that I was impatient, too opportunistic, and undisciplined in zig-zagging a career. But as I look back now over four decades, I can discover or impose a lot more sense about the decisions I made. Most of them turned out pretty well, so I’m willing to suggest some lessons learned and to warn about the smaller number of lessons I should have learned but ignored.

Congratulations to Noah!

Congratulations to Noah Vinoya, who has accepted a PhD position in the Department of Communication at Stanford University under the supervision of Dr. Gabriella Harari. We are so very proud of you, Noah, and look forward to your continued accomplishments!
