Welcome Max and Chris!

Max and Chris are now part of our team. They will help us with experiment preparation and data collection. Here is some info about them:

Max Hills
Max is a senior at the University of Oregon. He’s majoring in biology with an emphasis on neuroscience and behavior. Next year he plans on attending graduate school to study computational approaches to cognitive neuroscience. He is interested in the neurobiological underpinnings of the human capacity to revise one’s beliefs and opinions when confronted with new evidence or new arguments, and how this capacity changes over the course of human life.
Christopher Majcher
Native Chicagoian with an affinity for the outdoors, rock climbing, and reading, Christopher enjoys traveling, performing and attending music shows in his free time as well as learning more about the sciences.

Meet Taylor Guthrie our new Master’s student

Taylor received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He worked with Dr. Joel Snyder in an auditory perception lab that studied participants’ ability to detect changes in their auditory environments and also worked with Dr. Jefferson Kinney in a behavioral neuroscience lab that looked at molecular links to schizophrenia. He joined the Brain and Memory lab as a Master’s student in the Fall 2017. His current research interests are in uncovering the mechanisms that allow for emotion to influence the formation and retention of memories and how the access of old memories enables us to engage in the process of inferential reasoning.
Welcome Taylor!

Bamlab at the “Girls’ Science Adventure: Inside Your Brain”

Girls in grade 4-6 got an up-close look participated in a neuropsychology adventure day in which members of the UO Women in Graduate Sciences helped them learn all about how human brains work, how they change over time, and what they look like through a brain scan. This event is part of the Science Factory’s Girls’ Science Adventures workshop series. Dasa represented our lab. In addition to our regular outreach kid activities, she brought cute little brain soap for the girls!
