Lauren graduated Texas A&M University with her B.S. in Psychology. At Texas A&M, she was a research assistant in the labs of Drs. Annmarie MacNamara, Joseph Orr, and Steven Smith. Lauren is interested in researching positive valence systems within psychopathology (e.g., reward responsiveness), particularly with the use of psychophysiological measures. In the future, she plans to pursue a PhD in Psychology.

Shyam graduated from the University of Florida with his B.S. in Psychology, where he studied the effects of transformative experiences on human flourishing. His research now focuses on correlating oscillatory brain network dynamics and phenomenology during altered states of consciousness with traits and symptoms of psychiatric illness. He is developing a model to precisely diagnose and treat patients by catering therapies, mindfulness-based practices, and community resources to their unique needs, based on their brain network activity, cognitive functions, and subjective experiences.

Mario graduated from Florida State University in 2024 with a degree in Computational Science. His primary interest lies in understanding the mechanisms of consciousness, which he believes to be a fundamental force in the universe. Mario hopes to contribute to the scientific community's efforts in unraveling how consciousness arises, as he sees this as a crucial step towards solving the most challenging problems in psychology. In the future, he aims to foster a community that values philosophy and intelligent discourse, ultimately driving positive systemic change. When he's not engaged in scientific pursuits, Mario enjoys running, hiking, and embarking on new outdoor adventures.

Jessica is a fourth year Psychology major and Social Work minor. She is interested in understanding how certain brain structures and the overall nervous system interact with one another and influence our feelings and emotions and overall state of consciousness. After her undergrad, she plans on attending graduate school earning either a master's or Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and opening her own practice specializing in alternative treatments for mood disorders.

Thalia is on the pre-med path, soon switching into the Behavioral Neuroscience major. She is interested in studying the degeneration of memory and the development of treatments to best improve it in every aspect. In the future, Thalia plans to become a physician and continue researching neurological interventions.

Valerie is a junior double majoring in psychology and Japanese. She is interested in research related to the neurobiological substrates and treatment of psychological disorders, with a special interest in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. At FSU she has worked in the Patrick lab where she assisted with EEG research, and she is excited to continue learning about neuroimaging techniques. In the future she plans on pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology.

Amy is a junior majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience from Sarasota, FL. She is interested in learning more about neural oscillations and how they can change neural activity and impact cognition. After graduation, she hopes to pursue a career as a physician focusing in pediatrics neurological development.

Diego is a freshman majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience. He is fascinated by the effects of meditation, breathwork, and novel brain stimulation technologies on enhancing life quality, treating mood disorders, and promoting peak experiences. After graduation, he hopes to pursue a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and continue research to develop neurotechnological innovations.

Renee is a third year Psychology major who transferred from the FSU Republic of Panama Campus last Spring 2023 semester. Her research interests pertain to psychological disorders, specifically anxiety and mood disorder, eating disorders, and OCD. She is interested in exactly how these disorders are reflected in real-time brain activity, and how techniques such as neuroimaging and electrophysiology can be used to diagnose psychiatric disorders.

Sabrina is a second year at FSU as a psychology major and criminology minor. She is interested in the neuroscience perspective on abnormal psychology and cognitions, and finding biological and clinical interventions for mental illness. She wants to look at how brain structures and functioning impact development and prognosis of psychopathology and treatment. She learned about underserved communities, and latinx population experiences with mood disorders and suicidality in the Youth Resiliance Program under Dr. Buitron's lab as a research assistant. She intends to pursue a PhD and a career in research.

Annisa is majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience with a minor in Spanish. She spent her first year abroad living in Spain, tutoring children in English. She is now working as a Registered Behavior Technician for children with autism. She is intrigued by how cognition is impacted by psychiatric illness.
