Graduate students
| Brendan Valentine
Brendan is a Ph.D candidate in Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive Science. He is a Michigan native that graduated from Central Michigan University with a B.S. in Psychology and Neuroscience and a B.A. in French. He is interested in studying the neural correlates of attention and memory and how these cognitive processes contribute to consciousness. In his (limited) free time he enjoys spending time with his family, playing video games, and cooking. |

Postbac researchers
| Sydney George
Sydney George graduated from Michigan state University with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Cognitive Science. Her current work focuses on the interaction between attention and visual working memory, and how multiple mental representations of physical stimuli can be maintained to guide our attention. In the future, she hopes to attend graduate school, and study the effects of aging and neurodegenerative disease on cognitive function, particularly memory. Outside of the lab, she enjoys coaching swim, playing tennis, and cooking. |
