SCANN Lab attended the CRaNE Conference in Atlanta this May, where we presented some of our latest research! @crane-navsci.bsky.social

We recently wrote on these ideas too! In a chapter published in the Encyclopedia of the Human Brain, we dive into how these differences emerge from navigation strategies and underlying cognitive systems: osf.io/9x6a3
Individuals with aphantasia have difficulty forming mental imagery, and with her future research, Zoe aims to develop more inclusive methods for teaching complex concepts to students.
The SCANN Lab is officially extramurally funded at UTA! Dr. Weisberg and Dr. Hunter Ball, received a grant from the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Research Universities to study GPS-supported navigation and support leadership development through the ASCENDR Leadership Program.
They emphasize the importance of open science, standardizing navigation assessment methods, and focusing more on real-world challenges in navigation, particularly those experienced by older adults.
Zoe Cronin recently presented her research proposal at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) annual meeting. Here’s the link to her poster: www.scannlab.org/resources-it...
Zoe Cronin, our first year PhD student at SCANN lab was recently interviewed by Dallas Morning News where she discusses a condition known as aphantasia and its relationship to spatial cognition.

Why do some people never get lost while others rely on GPS?
A new review, written by @hugospiers.bsky.social and @emre-yavuz-21.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...
argues that navigation ability is shaped by both fixed factors (age, genetics) and modifiable ones (sleep, exercise, experience).
We are thrilled to share that SCANN Lab member @ashleykrause.bsky.social has published her work on place attachment influencing meaning in life!

A recent book on navigation, “Challenges in Navigation Research”, includes a final chapter that was co-authored by Dr. Weisberg. In that chapter, the authors propose a framework for future research in the field.
