Excited to join the Toronto Area Memory Group (TAMeG) for #TAMeG2026 in May as keynote speaker! I’m especially looking forward to the panel discussion on scientific mentorship and how we support the next generation of scientists.
Get ready for the #TAMeG2026 feat @aliprestonphd.bsky.social, mentorship & leadership panel: Mr. Ike Okafor, @efriskouw.bsky.social, spectacular trainee talks, lunch 🥪, and reception🥂!

Thrilled to see this review by the spectacular @hannahtarder-stoll.bsky.social et al. published.
Congrats to @hmsokolowski.bsky.social on seeing this 3-study paper on imagery, occupation, and gender through!
Thanks Hugo.
This work is often (incorrectly) cited as "Remembrance of things past." So (with apologies to Proust) we found that remembrance is—quite literally—accomplished with gazes passed.
Memory scientists love to cite the Petit Madeline passage from Proust's "À la recherche du temps perdu." Although this passage stats with smells and tastes, these are merely tiggers for a rich visual recollection, where the the whole of Combray and its surroundings "sprang into being."
Episodic details were preceded by increased saccades by about 500 ms, followed by a reduction of saccades, reflecting a temporal arc of visual reinstatement in autobiographical recollection.
91 Ss freely recalled a naturalistic, staged event (the Baycrest Tour) one-week after encoding, with EMs tracked looking at a blank screen. Transcripts were segmented into internal (episodic) vs. external (non-episodic) details using the Autobiographical Interview (one of my favourite measures 😉).
While researchers have assessed eye movements in relation to free recall (e.g., x.com/michael_arms...) these have not examined the coupling of eye movements to details at the millisecond level.
Aligning eye tracking and free recall time series, we found that increased saccades predict episodic (vs. non-episodic) by 0.5 s.
Just out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social, led by Ryan Barker with the inimitable @drjenryan.bsky.social.

Honoured to add my name to the ledger book of the @src-rsc.bsky.social last week in Montreal, joining those of my mentors
With thanks to my trainees, colleagues, @baycrest.bsky.social and my family

Pleased to see this @newyorker.com piece featuring our work on imagery and autobiographical memory. @baycrest.bsky.social @baycrestfoundation.bsky.social @uoftpsychology.bsky.social
I was delighted to receive the Edith Kaplan Award from the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society and to reunite with my postdoctoral companions maxine krengel, Susan McGlynn and former supervisors Nancy Hebben and Bill Milberg!
Thrilled to see this award to the outstanding Dr. Ryan Yeung for his work on subjectivity and the brain!
I was honoured to be elected to the 2025 class of Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada.
I am grateful to my trainees, research assistants, funders, and donors who have made our research possible.
Saying "so long" to our outstanding summer students Jennifer Zhavoronkova & Rivka Van Klei. We will miss you!
