I am currently looking at the neuropsychological factors contributing to how individuals solve problems in the real world. I am particularly interested in how hippocampus-dependent memory processes relate to problem solving ability in normal aging and aging-related memory disorders.

I recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Neuroscience from University of Bologna and I'm currently doing a research internship at Sheldon Memory Lab. I’m interested in the functions of remembering and forgetting. I’m currently looking at the benefits and drawbacks of recollecting details from learned events for concept generalization.

Stephanie Simpson

I am an Honours undergraduate student interested in studying the interaction between emotion and memory in autobiographical memory and understanding the underlying computations of this interaction.

Caterina Agostino

I am an Honours student interested in studying the influence of affect on memory formation and how this affects subsequent memory recall, as revealed by monitored eye-movements. 

can fenerci

I am a research assistant in the lab. I am primarily interested in the link between memory and social functions and learning about how this link is supported by the brain. To do so, I use brain stimulation techniques.

Lisa-Marie Giorgio

I am a recent McGill University graduate whose primary interests are the way emotions affect memory. I am currently investigating the ways that stress influences the way we remember information. In the past, I have also worked on research projects about empathy and memory.

kelly cool

I am an undergraduate Psychology student, interested in the individual differences in imagery. I'm running a study investigating how imagery capabilities support the mental construction of scenes and events.

Yass salehi

I am currently completing an independent research project after having recently finished my B.Sc. in psychology. My research investigates the role of musical expertise in the recollection of sensory details from complex events.

elizabeth dutemple

I am third-year Honours student currently contributing to research projects furthering our understanding of the effects of event segmentation on temporal memory, exploring how visual imagery influences episodic memory processes, and investigating the effects of induced mood on recalled autobiographical memories.

gabrielle pochiet

I am completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am interested in how autobiographical memory retrieval  is affected by aging.

batu kaya

I am an undergraduate Cognitive Psychology and Anthropology student. My research interests include the investigation of multimodal sensory processes of memory and individual differences in remembering and imagination.

Brenna Hello

I am a 3rd year undergraduate student, majoring in Psychology. My research interests lie in looking at emotion and memory, as well as the factors that affect how we recall our autobiographical memories.

sophia harman-heath

I am completing my B.Sc. in Psychology at McGill. I am interested in looking at false memories and how our memories can be affected by the world around us! I am currently studying how different perceptual details are remembered.

willem le duc

I am completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I am interested in how memories are formed and how they can be changed. I’m currently examining some key differences between the anterior and posterior portions of the hippocampus.
