I had a wonderful time presenting the findings of this study at SfN. In this study we tackled the electrode-to-scalp issue by testing the Universal Electroencephalography Clip (UE-C) compared to a conventional EEG cap. Leaned this is an issue many scientists care about and received great feedback.

New publication in Cognitive Neuropsychiatry! This was fun - a project born out of a machine learning boot camp with friends. In this study, we used classification techniques to determine whether schizotypy and autism questionnaires could identify non-overlapping symptoms.
Identifying overlapping and distinctive traits of autism and schizophrenia using machine learning classification
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) share some symptoms. We conducted machine learning classification to determine if common screeners used for research in non-...
