While in graduate
school in the Cognitive Psychology program at the University of Alabama, my research investigated the role of conscious
awareness in processing semantic information, primarily using a masked priming
paradigm. I have since developed an interest in cognitive neuroscience, and I
am currently a postdoc involved with several laboratories in the Psychology
Department at Rice University investigating language, attention, and perceptual
processes with methods of cognitive neuroscience (primarily fMRI, but also EEG
and TMS). Ultimately, I will use the skills that I have acquired at Rice to
study differences in neural activity underlying conscious vs. unconscious perceptual
and cognitive processes
