Chrastil Lab is moving to UC Irvine

July 1, 2019

The Chrastil Lab is moving to the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at UC Irvine starting fall 2019. We are looking for research staff, postdocs, grad students, and undergrad students to join the lab. We’ll be setting up studies using human neuroimaging and virtual reality.

Chrastil Lab publishes paper in Cognition

June 24, 2019

The Chrastil Lab has published a paper in Cognition: “Vision and proprioception make equal contributions to path integration in a novel homing task.” The paper examines the loop closure task, contrasting levels of vision and proprioceptive information, finding them to make equal contributions. However, the two cues were not weighted in a Bayesian ideal manner.

Liz Chrastil Gives Talk at Society for Neuroscience conference

December 14, 2018

Liz Chrastil gave a talk at the Society for Neuroscience Conference in November. This talk was principally concerned with the comparison of Theta oscillations during active and passive decision making in human spatial navigation. Theta oscillations have been related to learning in a number of contexts. Examining the role of these oscillations could give evidence into the role of passive and active decision making in navigational learning.

Chrastil Lab publishes paper on resting state connectivity

October 14, 2018

The Chrastil lab published two papers in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience during 2018. These papers investigate the function and connectivity of the retrosplenial cortex: an understudied area of human cortex that may have some connections to human navigation. This is a region of interest to Liz Chrastil, who will continue to do work to examine the impacts of this brain region.
