I am a third-year student at Hunter College majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience and will also pursue minors in Philosophy and Physics. This summer I am working at NYU’s Center for Neural Science in Dr. Marisa Carrasco’s lab. The Carrasco Lab works on the relationship between psychological and physiological mechanisms involved in visual perception and attention. My current project investigates the relationship between pre-saccadic eye movement and attention and the effects these have on visual appearance.
My future career interests lie in origins of consciousness, more specifically the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms which reveal the neural substrates that affect our thoughts, emotions, awareness, perception of reality and sense of self. I am also interested in neuropathology and the formation and progress of numerological diseases. I plan on pursuing a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience and Neurobiology and become a researcher working in academia. |
