Arne Ekstrom, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Psychology and Evelyn McKnight Brain Institute
Derek Huffman, Ph.D.
I am a postdoc in the lab working at the University of California, Davis, and I am currently interested in using fMRI and electrocorticography to investigate the networks underlying human spatial memory.
Yu (Karen) Du, Ph.D.
I am currently a postdoc in the lab. My research aims to understand the cognitive mechanisms of spatial representations in humans.
Mike Starrett
I am interested in the cognitive and neural bases of how spatial information can be learned and flexibly deployed during navigation in and/or spatial memory for large-scale environments.
Mingli Liang
I am a graduate student in the Psychology program at University of Arizona. My current research interests include neural oscillations, hippocampal function, and neural time series analysis.
Sevan Harootonian
I'm currently a research specialist in the Ekstrom lab. I'm working on a path integration task using an omnidirectional treadmill and virtual reality. I'm interested in the neural basis or navigation and decision making.
Alexis Oyao
I am currently a research specialist working at the University of Arizona. I am interested in older adults' ability to create and update their cognitive maps.
