A Neurocognitive Aging Lab alumna, Ishani Atukoralalage, has been accepted into a master's program for Anatomical Sciences at Queen's University. 

Over the course of her internship in our lab, Ishani gained extensive hands-on experience in the research process by testing participants, organizing data, discussing project trajectories, planning experimental studies, and processing biological samples.  Ishani is pictured here running hormone assays for graduate student, Dawn Ryan's thesis project, Hormones across the Lifespan. 

We wish Ishani all the best with her studies and celebrate her accomplishment!

CFI Funding will allow campbell lab to purchase new equipment

4/2/2019

 
Picture
Dr. Campbell has been awarded a grant from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation to purchase new EEG and eye-tracker systems for the lab. These systems have high temporal precision; that is, they can record effects that only last for a few milliseconds in the brain or eyes. Since attention effects are often short-lived, this equipment will allow the Campbell lab to gain a better understanding of how aging affects one's ability to pay attention. For more information, see the full story in the Brock News.
