I'm Norah, a member of the Marin Academy Research Collaborative (MARC) program. I became interested in research through working on citizen science projects my sophomore year, where I realized how much I enjoyed applying what I'd learned in the classroom to contribute to science in a hands-on way. The MARC program has been a great way for me to explore this interest and has significantly furthered my knowledge in scientific research.
I've always been curious about dreams and realized how many questions I had about them when I began exploring different scientific topics. I am interested in finding a reliable lucid dreaming induction method as I think this is a meaningful way to not only contribute to lucid dreaming research, but also to the fields of dreams and consciousness more broadly.
