A. Dawn RyanI recently joined Brock University and the Campbell Neurocognitive Aging lab to pursue graduate studies/research. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the neural mechanisms that underlie effortful and spontaneous cognitive processes such as memory. I hope that by exploring the brain regions and neural systems involved in these processes I can gain a better understanding of how the biology of the brain gives rise to the wonders of the mind.

Emily davisI am a recent graduate from Brock University, Honours Psychology program. I have been doing developmental research for the past year in face perception; however, my goal in this lab is to further my knowledge in neurocognitive changes in aging and memory. In the future, I plan on applying to a clinical neuroscience program to research abnormal memory decline in aging.

Osama ChatthaI am a third year psychology student. Over the past few years I have worked with electrophysiological techniques to examine the sensitivity of early visual ERP’s (P1 & N170) to stimulus properties. Utilizing my background in EEG research, I would like to build upon my knowledge and learn more about the cognitive and neural changes in human memory and aging.

Jessica CallegariI recently graduated from Brock University with a Bachelor’s of Science (Honours) in Neuroscience with a specialty in Neuropsychology. Throughout the program, I gravitated towards the different types of neurological measures and how our nervous system changes as we age. My previous experiences gave me a chance to learn about EEG. In Dr. Campbell’s lab I am now hoping to investigate neurocognitive changes of memory in an aging population.

Sarah HendersonI am entering my fourth year at Brock University pursuing a double major in Psychology and Biology. I'm particularly interested in cognitive psychology as well as aging and development. I will be conducting my thesis work this year with Dr. Campbell where we will investigate differences in how we experience voluntary and involuntary memory recall as we age. I hope to pursue graduate studies in cognitive psychology and ways that we can apply these ideas in a real world setting.

Ethan foyI am completing my final year at Brock University in the Honours Neuropsychology Co-op program. My interest in neuroscience stems from your ability to apply much of the knowledge you gain directly to aspects in your life, both personal and social. Memory is fascinating because it is so important to who you are as a person. It holds concepts and thoughts in focus long enough for you to deliberate, problem solve and plan; furthermore, it holds on to all of your knowledge and past experiences. Taken together, it definitely warrants an interesting research topic.

Emily ChemnitzI am going into the final year of my undergraduate degree at Brock University in the neuroscience program, specifically, the neuropsychology stream. I am working on my undergraduate thesis with Dr. Campbell this year. We are interested in studying whether older adults pay attention to different items while watching dynamic stimuli compared to younger adults and how this may relate to their memory of the stimuli. I am very excited to be working on my thesis this year in the neurocognitive aging lab and hope to use the experience I gain to further my educational goals and aspirations.
