Associate Professor, Department of Psychology and Evelyn McKnight Brain Institute

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.

I am currently a postdoc in the lab. My research aims to understand the cognitive mechanisms of spatial representations in humans.

I am a postdoc fellow in the lab and now I am interested in the temporal interval representation during human episodic memory and navigation using high-resolution fMRI.

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.

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.

I am a first-year graduate student. My research interests include understanding the cognitive processes involved in spatial navigation using EEG and virtual reality.

I am a first-year PhD student who is interested in asymmetries between the perception of spatial and temporal dimensions including spatial and temporal reproduction, time dilation, and spatial navigation. My techniques include EEG, TMS, fMRI, and virtual reality.

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.

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.

I am currently a research specialist working for the lab at the University of Arizona. I am interested in path integration & cognitive mapping in virtual reality environments, and I currently utilize Unity & C# scripting to create those environments. Before I joined the Human Spatial Cognition Lab, I obtained my B.S. in Psychology (2018) from the University of Arizona where I volunteered in the Psychology, Policy, and Law Lab under Dr. Connie Beck, and the Anxiety Research Group under Dr. William Jake Jacobs. Post-graduation I worked in a clinical rehabilitation setting for 6 months before transferring to the lab. Outside of the lab I spend my free time hiking in the winter and playing tabletop games year-round. Email: asmcavan@email.arizona.edu
