As Laboratory Manager I am responsible for the oversight and coordination of undergraduate Research Assistants and for communication between the lab and the general Ithaca and Cornell communities. As Data Analyst I am responsible for the organization, preprocessing, and analysis of neuroimaging and behavioral data. As Psychometrist, I am responsible for conducting an extensive 12-16 hour neurocognitive assessment battery of younger and older adults. Additionally, I oversee neuroimaging data collection, coordinate participant recruitment and scheduling, and maintain and organize laboratory data and documents as needed. The program of research in the laboratory examines large-scale brain network dynamics, their role in memory, executive function, and social cognition, and changes with advancing age and disease.

I was responsible for administering a brief battery of neurocognitive assessments as well as collecting and analyzing Electroencephalogram data from older and younger adults. The current study compares human brain activation during a feature binding task to activation in rat brains during a similar task with an emphasis on the contributions of the cholinergic basal forebrain.
