Overall Research Project Description:
The goal of this research project is to use an innovative brain stimulation technique--transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)--to study the nature of cognitive control deficits in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participants will attend one study session where they complete a clinical interview and self-report measures before receiving TMS to two areas of the brain and completing a cognitive task on a computer two times. 

Research Tasks:
Participant recruitment, assisting with participant study visits, conducting data analysis, assembling literature reviews. 

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
CITI Human Subjects Research certification (required if accepted as a UROP student)
Previous experience interacting with research participants or clinical populations (recommended)
Previous coursework in neuroscience or cognitive psychology (recommended)

Mentoring Philosophy:
I view my UROP students and undergraduate research assistants as junior colleagues. I work with my students to develop a plan to achieve their goals--both UROP-related and for the rest of their undergraduate career and beyond. Students who go above and beyond in their assigned duties are given the opportunity to pursue additional advanced research training and to assist with manuscript creation and publication.
