Craig studies how we encode and store information about the world and the people around us. He is particularly interested in understanding how we use this information to generate internal models of how other individuals think. Craig received his Bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 2018, where he studied History of Science and Neuroscience.
How do people build abstract conceptual knowledge from various perceptual and learning experiences? This is the question at the center of Mengting's current research. She is exploring how to bridge the gap between our understanding of perception and conception through computational modeling and neuroimaging methods. Outside of academia, she enjoys reading, singing, and hiking.
Emily’s research interests include the neural systems involved in recognition of individuals and their emotions, as well as the detection of social cues. She is interested in studying the brain regions that represent the visual configuration of the face and the regions that encode the meanings of those configurations. She would like to apply computational and neuroimaging methods to investigate these research topics. Emily received her B.A. in Psychology from New York University in 2017.
Yuting is an undergraduate majoring in Psychology at Boston College, and is working on research for her senior thesis. She is from Beijing, China. She has been fascinated by the human brain since junior high, and is currently interested in computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and neural networks. Her research in the lab focuses on how to remove noise, such as motion and heart rate, from fMRI data using an adversarial network. She also enjoys drawing and painting in her free time. In the future, she wants to pursue studies in human memory and learning using a computational approach and hopes to help find the cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Eamon is an undergraduate student majoring in Psychology at Boston College. He is interested in research that observes the intersection between consciousness and neuroscience. Specifically, he is curious about thoughts and their neural correlates, and he would like to better understand how and why people think the way that they do in various situations through studying the brain.
