Tarik Bel-Behar is a graduate student in the UO Department of Psychology.

 Colin Davey does software engineering for the BEL and at EGI. He is interested in the neuropsychology of skill learning and motor control.

 Gwen Frishkoff finished her doctorate degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology in 2004, with an emphasis on the cognitive and brain bases of language. She holds an M.A. in Linguistics (1997) and an M.S. in Psychology (2000) from the University of Oregon, and received her B.A. in Philosophy and Russian Linguistics (Bryn Mawr College, 1993).

 Amy (Rowland) Konyn is Lab Coordinator at the BEL, where she trains and supervises incoming Research Assistants in dense-array HCGSN application and in ERP data acquisition techniques.  She also works with EGI Science to develop test products and with EGI Hardware Engineering to test developed products. If you are a University of Oregon student interested in receiving practical experience in our lab, please send a letter of introduction to akonyn@egi.com.

 Jean Lee is a research assistant working in the Brain Electrophysiology Laboratory at the University of Oregon.

 Phan Luu received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Oregon working with Don Tucker. His research interests revolves around the topic of self-regulation, which includes action monitoring, personality, and affect. He is interested in building a theory of self-regulation that is anatomically and neurophysiologically constrained and is consistent with evidence from animal research.

Ida Moadab is in the clinical psychology Ph.D. program at the University of Oregon. Her research interests are in emotion regulation and the development of psychopathology. Currently, her work in the Brain Electrophysiology Lab uses ERP methodologies to index the cognitive control of negative emotion. She is also currently working with Dr. Jennifer Ablow on the effects of maternal depression on children's physiological responses to negative emotion.

Sei-Hwan Oh is a Ph.D student in the Psychology Department at the
University of Oregon. She received her M.A. from Yonsei University in Korea and M.S. from the University of Oregon. She investigates the
effect of attention and working memory on perception in Dr. Margaret Sereno's Visual Neuroscience Lab as well as the Brain Electrophysiology Lab. In particular, her current research focuses on the effect of goal-specificity on selective attention using fMRI, ERP, and behavioral methods.

 Stacey Pederson finished her doctorate in Social Psychology with an emphasis in psychophysiology in 2005. She holds an M.A. in Experimental Psychology (1999) and a Secondary Education Credential in Mild to Moderate Disabilities (1997) from San Jose State University. Her research focuses on the temporal organization of emotion response to stress and its effect on memory, motivation, and attention. Stacey's model of emotion, which incorporates a Dynamic Systems perspective (variously referred to as Chaos Theory, Complexity Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics), has captured subtleties of the emotion process not revealed through the dominant linear and static models of affective space.

Pieter Poolman received his Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He has completed a postdoc program at the University of Iowa. His research interests include forward and inverse modeling, functional brain imaging, and signal processing. In addition, he is also interested in real-time human performance measurements.

Catherine Poulsen received her Ph.D. in Psychology from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Following postdoctoral work at the University of Oregon and the Montreal Neurological Institute, she joined EGI in January 2007. Her primary line of research examines the neural dynamics underlying the adaptive control of learning and performance. She is particularly interested in the coordination of executive control mechanisms with ongoing context and outcome monitoring processes, the balance between stability and flexibility of attentional set for optimal performance, and the modulation of learning and performance by goals, incentives, and feedback.

  Jason Quiring received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Oregon. His program of research emphasizes a neuropsychological approach for the study of basic brain-behavioral mechanisms. One foci is designed to create better integration between neuropsychological assessment, psychometrics, and neuroimaging assays. He also conducts studies in psychophysics that are designed to create a better understanding of the perception of the fourth dimension: time. He considers temporal orientation, a mammalian, neuropsychological construct, to be the fabric that ties together most psychological processes including cognition, emotion, memory and behavior.

A list of Dr. Quiring's recent publications is available online.

 Tara Torassa received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Oregon in 2003. She has worked independently and been employed with Electrical Geodesics Inc. for 3 years as an EEG research assistant and training coordinator. Her focus is on the coordination and control of all EEG data collection activities.

 Don Tucker received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Pennsylvania State University. He pioneered development of dense-array EEG technology and is the CEO of Electrical Geodesics Inc. Dr. Tucker is a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon. Among his many research projects, Dr. Tucker is currently examining depression and anxiety as neural control processes.
