Labs & Research Projects
Sleep and Learning Lab: Dr. Kimberly Fenn
Investigating the role of sleep in the acquisition and consolidation of complex skills and episodic memory. Sleep and Learning Lab
Visual Neuroscience Lab: Dr. Jan Brascamp
Focusing on the neural processes of interpretation and selection that allow sensation (the retinas detecting light) to turn into conscious visual perception (seeing). Brascamp Lab
Expertise Lab: Dr. Zach Hambrick
Studying the origins of skill in domains such as music, chess, and sports. Expertise Lab
Perception and Attention Lab: Dr. Mark Becker
Investigating visual attention with an emphasis on processes guiding the allocation of attention and the application of attention research to real-world scenarios. Perception and Attention Lab
Computational Basis of Cognitive Control Lab: Dr. Karl Healey
Understanding the computational principles that allow us to encode new memories and search for existing memories. CBCC Lab
Cognitive Control Neurolab: Dr. Susan Ravizza
Focusing on the cognitive control processes that are necessary when automatic behaviors are not sufficient to accomplish goals. Cognitive Control Neurolab
