Graduate Students:

Mimi Juffe

Mimi is a masters student in the Behavioral- Cognitive Neuroscience stream. She completed her Honors BA in Psychology at Brock University. Generally, she is interested in exploring visual working memory and the various mechanisms that are involved in working memory processes. Her current research investigates the relationship between working memory prioritization and spatial attention using neural measures.

Rosa Torres

Rosa is a PhD student under joint supervision of Professor Stephen Emrich and Professor Karen Campbell. She completed her undergraduate degree in Biology for Health Sciences and Psychology at U of T.  She is quite interested in studying the age-related changes in the efficiency of memory and attention, and how these changes may be reflected in neural mechanisms. Through her research, she hopes to get a better understanding of healthy aging and potential interventions to increase the efficiency of cognitive processes, especially in old age.
