Speaker:
*Sarah Dubrow* (Davachi Lab)

*MVPA classification of scene exemplars from memory*

Abstract:
I will present a project aimed at getting reliable classification of
individual scene exemplars or subcategories with the goal of  decoding the
strength of cued memory reactivation at a finer level than the broad
categories typically used (e.g., face versus scene). I'll show some
preliminary classification results for 8 different scene exemplars. The
scenes were either buildings or landscapes, famous or non, and their
position on the screen was manipulated to try to enhance discriminability.
I'll compare training using study data versus a separate "localizer" task,
as well as classification of whole-brain data versus scene-selective
voxels.

*NOTE: **Food will be served**, and beer will be available for those able
to contribute towards the "beer fund." *
