“Samual P. Bradley is finishing his PhD in neurobiology from West Virginia University. Sam graduated from DuBois Area High School in West Central, Pennsylvania. Prior to graduate school, he studied psychology and philosophy from Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania. Here he cultivated an interest studying the mind and the biological forces that drive behavior. These interests led him to study how neural systems work and their relationship to behavior. During his PhD, he used behavioral, fluid mechanical, immunohistochemical, computational, and electrophysiological research techniques to understand a neural circuit that mediates chemical sensing during natural plume tracking behavior in the moth Manduca sexta. His future direction would like to incorporate embodied cognition approaches to cognitive science and the relationship between philosophical approaches to the mind and the practices found in neuroscience research.”
