Farewell, Chris Martin!

Chris Martin, a PhD. candidate in the Köhler Lab, has accepted and started a position as a postdoctoral fellow at Morgan Barense’s Memory and Perception Lab at the University of Toronto. He was with our lab for 5 years and so it’s hard to see him leaving. Good luck with your future endeavours Chris!

We are excited to see the work of our lab members, Dr. Chris Fiacconi and Devin Duke, discussed in a recent New Scientist article. The article focuses on a recent Kohler lab publication that examined the effects of Capgras syndrome on overt person recognition abilities and judgments of facial expressions.

Good luck Paige!
