Lab Members

Jessica Yankulova, the lab manager, is a graduate student interested in consciousness and developmental psychology. She is especially interested in investigating action selection and the relationship between conscious and unconscious processes.

Anthony Velasquez is a graduate student interested in the neural networks supporting conscious processing (e.g., in working memory, impulse control, and encapsulation), and in how knowledge of such networks will inform the study of psychopathology. Anthony's long term goal is to apply our new paradigms (about the neural and cognitive aspects of conscious processing) to the burgeoning field of experimental psychopathology.

Dennis Lambert is a graduate student interested in the neural mechanisms that underlie consciousness and attention, as well as how this scientific inquiry contributes to philosophical questions.

Yanming Li (Alison) is a graduate student who is interested in consciousness and cognitive psychology. She is especially interested in the role of consciousness in voluntary actions and decisions.

Christina Y. Wong is a graduate student who is interested in the neural underpinnings of human behavior and consciousness. She is also interested in learning more about disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, trauma, and memory loss.

Latoya Wright-Wilson is an undergraduate research assistant student who is interested in unconscious processes and in neural networks. She is especially interested in memory.
