Undergraduate: B.S., Psychology, UGA B.A., Philosophy, UGA Graduate Program: M.S. Psychology (2010) Ph.D. Neuroscience (2013) View my CV I am interested in understanding the auditory neurophysiological abnormalities associated with schizophrenia. I use electro- and magnetoencephalography to examine oscillatory brain rhythms evoked by a variety of auditory stimuli.
