Dr Uncapher to co-chair a conference on Kids and Tech for the National Academy of Sciences10/13/2015 The National Academy of Sciences, along with the Institute of Digital Media and Child Development, are launching a global convening of researchers, pediatricians, child psychologists, and neuroscientists who are investigating the impact of technology and media use on childrens' brains and behavior.
IAN's Dr Uncapher is a co-organizer and will chair the working group day of the conference. White papers will be published in an upcoming issue of Pediatrics, and select primary papers and reviews will be published in upcoming issues of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Discover Magazine highlights how Dr Weiner and colleague Dr Jason Yeatman rediscovered a part of the human brain that has a storied history.

Findings included demonstrating that people can use simple strategies to 'beat' a brain-based (fMRI) memory detector. Collaborators Dr. Anthony Wagner and Dr. Jesse Rissman presented related work. Dr. Uncapher has been recognized as a MacArthur Scholar for her work in the field.
