Arjun is a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Neuroscience. This year he will be doing an independent research study under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Newman. This study aims to determine whether kids from grades 3-5 can recognize prosodic boundaries like commas using EEG. Apart from school Arjun enjoys going to the gym and working on some type of machinery.

Emily is a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Neuroscience, minoring in Business, and doing a certificate in Neurotechnology and Innovation. This year she will be doing an independent research study under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Newman. This study aims to determine how EEG activity changes during second language learning and, in particular, examining how EEG measures are related to how well people are able to learn new vocabulary. Outside of studying, Emily loves walking her dog, crocheting, and drinking matcha.

Emily is a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Neuroscience, minoring in Business, and doing a certificate in Neurotechnology and Innovation. She is completing her honours research under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Newman as part of the ComChERP study. This project examines how neural markers associated with processing prosodic boundaries, such as commas, relate to reading comprehension in children from grades 3 to 5. Last year, she conducted an independent project with the LANGA team examining neural markers involved in second language acquisition. Outside of academics, Emily enjoys walking her dog, reading, and drinking matcha.

Ry is a Psychology PhD student with research interests in human memory and language. They previously completed their BSc in Psychology at Cape Breton University before moving to Halifax where they finished their MSc in Psychology at Dalhousie. Ry is currently working on a study at the lab investigating changes in EEG activity associated with the successful learning of new words in an unfamiliar language. Outside the research sphere, Ry does volunteer work at the Loaded Ladle and enjoys playing RPGs, hot yoga, and drawing.

Laura is a fourth year student from Novar, Ontario majoring in Neuroscience, minoring in Entrepreneurship and completing a certificate in Neurotechnology and Innovation. Last year she completed an independent project as part of the brain computer interface (BCI) team looking at the effect of stimulus hybridization on EEG signals and BCI performance. This years project, supervised by Dr. Aaron Newman, will focus on the efficacy and usability of motor imagery, and steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP), -based BCIs. In her free time Laura enjoys reading, road trips and baking.
