May 12th 2022: Summer semester officially started earlier this week. Thank you to Fukuda Lab students who have worked hard this year, whether that be through volunteering with research, completing a poster, or just hanging around at meetings 🙂 Also congratulations to graduates, you’ve worked so hard and now you’re done undergrad!!
January 8th 2022: HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We made it through another tough year so give yourself a pat on the back, we know you worked hard. We would like to announce a couple of things: firstly, we want to give a warm welcome to Frida who is joining our lab as a postdoc!! Finally! We have been waiting for you for so long! Secondly, we would like to send a reminder to students that in-person learning for most courses has been suspended until January 31st.. after that we will see what happens. Regardless, have fun this semester!

October 18th 2021: Now that school is well underway (online), there are two interesting things we’d like to share with you! 1. Today is national chocolate cupcake day (in USA?) and 2. school seems to be transitioning back to person for Winter 2022 semester! We wonder how it’s going to go moving forward.
April 29th 2021: End of term is here! Congratulations to all undergrads who are graduating amid this pandemic. Also special shout out to our lab members who presented their work (poster & thesis) this year at the Annual Undergraduate Research day! Presenters worked hard and answered questions from persistent profs very smoothly (see below).

December 23rd 2020: Happy Holidays 🎄❄️⛄!!! Fall semester is a wrap! We know everyone worked hard this year and showed great resilience while adapting to the strange new times. Let’s all enjoy our extended holiday and treat ourselves to some much deserved recuperation and snacking.
Also, check out our ‘holiday party’ pics, and no- we did not drink in school… 🙂
December 8th 2020: The lab has survived almost a whole semester since the pandemic attacked our research! In the absence of our annual lab gathering, we managed to gather a few smiles instead. We hope everyone has a productive and successful exam session before the holidays!
July 31st 2020: Congratulations to Ben and Joe for each successfully defending their master’s thesis!! It’s a deserved accomplishment and definitely adds joy to these vexing times. Time to celebrate~
June 19th 2020: The Fukuda Lab participates in the Vision Sciences Society conference, live now! Check out our conference posters page for our current posters and stay tuned with Joe’s twitter account! We are always open to questions so please send us an email if there is something you’re curious about.
June 11th 2020: Matthew experiments with applying some models to his data on mind wandering from his metronome counting task in today’s journal club – complicated stuff!!
