Current Ph.D. Student Chelsea Stillman, Psychology  Chelsea is a fifth-year student in the Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience concentration in Psychology's Developmental Science program. She is interested in how individual differences in both environmental and endogenous factors relate to cognitive performance in old age and how interventional strategies can be used as tools to promote successful aging. She has two main research projects in the lab. One project is examining how intrinsic properties of the brain, such as the baseline or "resting" state communication between brain regions, can predict individual and age differences in subsequent learning. Another project is focusing on how specific traits/states, such as mindfulness, relate to individual differences in implicit and explicit cognitive functioning. Lab Manager
Eileen Rasmussen  Eileen graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2013 with a B.A. in Psychology. At UMB she worked as a research assistant in an applied neuropsychology lab investigating psychopathy and disadvantageous, risky decision making. She completed her own study entitled “Emotion and decision-making in a college student sample” for an honor’s thesis. She is interested in affective processing, emotion regulation, and aging. If you can't find something, she probably knows where it is. Eileen is applying to graduate programs for the fall of 2015. Current Undergraduate Research Assistants Erica Rabinovich
 Erica is a senior Neurobiology major. Her senior thesis will examine relationships between various individual differences and statistical learning across multiple domains, including perceptual and language learning.
RJ Marchese
 RJ is in his senior year, a psychology major and a pre-med student. He is involved in all projects in the lab and will be attending Georgetown Medical School upon graduating.
