Xinchi to Lyon

Postdoc with Liuba Papeo funded by Fyssen.

Congratulations to Xinchi Yu, who this Fall heads to Lyon, capital of French gastronomy, to work at the CNRS Institute of Cognitive Sciences Marc Jeannerod with Director of Research Liuba Papeo, on two years of funding from the Fyssen Foundation.  Xinchi just completed his thesis in the NACS program, "Mapping the neural taxonomy of mental objects in moment-to-moment cognition," supervised by Ellen Lau. He now joins Professor Papeo on a project on the neural basis for long-term memory of social events. We look forward not only to his forthcoming research – but also to his decisions on where to find the best pike dumplings in crayfish cream sauce. Bon voyage, Xinchi!
