Shyam graduated from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Psychology, where he studied the impact of peak experiences on prosocial behavior and life purpose. He is now investigating the brain network dynamics of peak experiences during advanced meditation retreats. Alongside the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC), Shyam aims to operationalize stages of meditative progression to develop personalized mindfulness-based interventions. He also leads a local mindfulness community to provide individuals with evidence-based practices, resources, and peer-to-peer support.

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.

Andrew is a freshman majoring in Psychology! His interests lie just about anywhere you look, from neuroscience to literature, though he would love to dive as deep as he can into the brain. His future plans consist of spreading peace, love, and information via research or professorship or artist or author or whatever other opportunity brings him joy!
