Cognitive Science MA - I’m here to learn
Thrilled to share that I’ve successfully defended my master’s thesis in Cognitive Science! 🧠

I'm deeply thankful to all who contributed to this journey

Promise the matching outfits weren’t planned, my supervisor and I just share the same taste in colors

On to the next chapter: my upcoming PhD!

Happy to share that I presented my poster at the 11th International Symposium on Brain and Cognitive Science 🧠

📍 2nd pic: Her reminding me that there’s still behavioral data to collect… and fNIRS analysis ahead 🤓

Is it weird to have favorite brain regions? Anterior cingulate and insular cortices have always been my favorite!
As we near the end of Insula week, I want to introduce you to Insula's bestie, Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC).

Left: ACC (yellow)
Right: "Insula" (Anterior Insular Cortex, AIC; green).

I’m genuinely happy about this app. I come here, read amazing work, get inspired, look at art, see what academics are up to and just leave. No negativity, just vibes 🦋
