I'm a new PhD student at Brock University and joined the Campbell Neurocognitive Aging lab to investigate the impact of lifestyle and demographic variables on brain function and cognitive health during the aging process. Understanding how age-related changes in the brain can be influenced by daily life is important for the development of future interventions for cognitive reserve formation, neurodegeneration prevention and achievement of healthy aging. I'm very excited to get deep into my studies and bring collaborations to these discoveries.

I 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.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Brock University and am excited to be continuing on as one of Dr. Campbell’s graduate students. I will be investigating the neural mechanisms that underlie age-related changes in memory, perception and attention and how physical activity might impact these changes. Investigating the aging brain is critical to understand what happens as people get older and what types of interventions can benefit the healthy aging process.

I received my undergraduate degree in Biology and Psychology at Brock University, completing my thesis investigating the neural correlates of healthy aging and memory with Dr. Campbell. I am thrilled to be continuing my research as a graduate student in the lab. I am interested in how age-related changes in neural activity relate to changes in attentional and cognitive ability across the lifespan, and the factors that may promote healthy cognitive aging.

Research assistants

I am a recent graduate of the Psychology program at Brock University, and have previously volunteered for the Neurocognitive aging lab. I now hope to enhance my knowledge and grow academically in the role of lab manager. My primary interest lies in how attention shifts in the aging process, and I plan to pursue further education in this area of study in the years to come. I know that Dr. Campbell’s lab will provide the experience and support I need to be successful in conducting my own research in the future.

I am a fourth 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.

I recently joined the Neurocognitive Aging Lab as a volunteer, and I am currently assisting with programming for an analysis of eye-tracking data. In addition, I hope more generally to use my previous experience collecting, processing, and analyzing electroencephalographic (EEG) data to help develop and implement creative tasks and analyses in the lab that can be used to uncover new information about neurocognitive processes. I am excited to collaborate with the other lab members as we explore new ways to investigate questions about cognition and aging.
