Maya Aderka
M.Sc. Student, Department of Physiology, McGill.
B.Sc. in Psychology and Computer Science with an emphasis on Neuroscience, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
During my B.Sc, I worked as a research assistant in Prof. Nitzan Censor lab, which studies memory and learning. I assisted in conducting behavioral studies, as well as studies involving EEG, fMRI and TMS.
In the final year of my B.Sc, I joined Prof. Yuval Nir’s sleep lab to help with an initiative to create SleepEEGpy, a platform to pre-process and analyse sleep EEG data.
Alex Zhao
B. Sc student, Neuroscience program, McGill
My research interests lie in computational neuroscience, as I believe that computational models have the power to capture the brain’s inner workings. In my free time I enjoy reading and solo traveling.
Jacky Chen
B.A. in Psychology with double minors in Behavioral Science and Science for Art Students, McGill
As someone who enjoys playing the piano, I am curious to explore the ways cognitive processes impact musical expression and attentional shifts. My research interests lie at the intersection of psychology, music, and cognitive science.
I was born in Shanghai, China, where I spent the first 18 years of my life. After completing high school, I relocated to Montreal to pursue my studies at McGill University. I really enjoy the lovely summer in Montreal!
Anna Rose Hunt-Isaak
BASc Honors Cognitive Science, McGill
I’m interested in exploring the intersection of neuroscience and computer science, especially with regards to how we can computationally model cognitive processing and develop a better understanding of how neural activity mediates observable behaviors.
My hobbies include baking, reading George Saunders, and layering poorly for winter runs
Yiqing Zhu
Non-thesis M.Sc student, Computer Science, McGill.
I have graduated from McGill University with a B.Sc. Honours in Computer Science and a minor in Statistics. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biology, neuroscience, and computation. I’m now pursuing graduate studies with a focus on ML, AI, and the contribution of large language models to data research.
Edward Tong
B. Eng. Student in Bioengineering, McGill.
Bioengineering courses often focus on design like tissue engineering or microfluidic devices. However, my interests was peaked during a signal analysis class (BIEN462), learning about the diagnostic abilities of ECGs. I look forward to analyses other signals such as EEGs. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and playing videogames.
Youyou Yang
Master’s student in Computer Science (non-thesis), McGill. I completed a B.Sc. in Physics and Computer Science at McGill. I hold a quiet obsession with Dr. Wilder Penfield and I am currently exploring research in brain-inspired AI.
Eliot Mudry Danisch
B.A. student in joint honours philosophy and political science with a minor in science for arts students, McGill
I’m interested in philosophy of mind and the intersection of philosophy and cognitive science. More specifically, I’m interested in the neural basis of consciousness, cognition, and perception in both humans and AI.
Samantha Rogers
B. Sc. Neuroscience, McGill University
I am originally from California and recently spent a semester studying at the University of Edinburgh. I am interested in exploring the connection between neurophysiology and behavior, in particular cognition, memory, and decision making. I hope to be able to learn more about the neural basis of human behavior.
Tanya Kumar
Non-Thesis MSc, Computer Science, McGill BTech, Computer Science and Engineering, SRM University, Chennai, India
I’m interested in exploring psychology and neuroscience concepts through machine learning techniques.
