Case Management and Outreach Department.

Medical Sciences at the University of Crete, School of Medicine (Departments of Ophthalmology and Psychiatry/Behavioral Sciences).Visual psychophysics research, using eye tracking to investigate the effects of emotional arousal on eye movements and visual performance.

Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, Department of Neurobiology. Neural stem cell research, defining the molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine cell fate in the central nervous system, and how disruption of these events can lead to behavioral abnormalities.

University of Maryland Summer Training and Research Program (UMSTAR), funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).June 2011-August 2011: Cognitive/Motor Neuroscience LaboratoryUsed Electroencephalography (EEG) to determine whether increasing difficulties of a cognitive task (Tetris), representative of more cognitive workload, would result in more coherence between the pre-motor frontal midline and other areas in the brain. (Mentor: Dr. Bradley Hatfield, Ph.D.)June 2010-August 2010: Cognitive/Motor Neuroscience LaboratoryAnalyzed alpha wave frequencies to determine the effects of Neurofeedback Training and asymmetric frontal cortical activity on psychomotor efficiency. (Mentor: Dr. Bradley Hatfield, Ph.D.)June 2009-August 2009: Department of Epidemiology and BiostatisticsUsed GIS to collect police proximity data surrounding homes and high schools of girls whom participated in the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls from 2003-2005, examined physical activity levels and body mass indices.
