  mentoring_philosophy: 'As the PI of the Hermiller Lab, I meet with my students regularly to identify their individual skills, their future goals, and their current struggles, in order to create a plan of action for them to develop and succeed. I believe that science requires active learning, taking on challenges, learning from mistakes, and persistent inquiry. Science is a rewarding and humbling process that leads to better understanding of ourselves and our world. To be successful, it requires researchers at all stages (from PI to undergraduate research assistants) to actively engage with the learning process with humility and attention to detail. These are values that I aim to instill and demonstrate for my mentees. I strive to create a positive, productive, and supportive lab environment, and in return, expect that members of the lab will contribute in a positive, productive, and supportive manner. '

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    The Hermiller Lab studies long-term episodic/autobiographical memory processes - the cognitive process that allows us to mentally travel back in time to recall our prior experiences. We use neuroimaging (fMRI) to measure the brain while it's performing memory, noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) to modulate the memory networks, and measure behavior (memory tasks, eye-tracking). We have several projects with specific aspects that UROP students may lead, including:
    - What is the relationship between imagination vividness and memory performance?
    - What is the relationship between attention and hyper-vigilance (PTSD vs. healthy control population), and their interactions with memory performance?
    - Can we use brain stimulation to differently target social-based memories vs. spatial memories?
    - What is the nature of false memories?
    - How do patterns of eye movements relate to memory formation and retrieval?
    - How does physical movement (e.g., walking versus standing) affect our ability to form memories?
