Nathan Caines

Graduate Student

About: I'm interested in how we comprehend meaning within language, and the cognitive processes which facilitate that, particularly how we deal with ambiguous referential processing during discourse. My research utilizes electrophysiology and brain stimulation to examine neurotypical and clinical population samples to understand language comprehension. Prior to UCSC, I completed my BS of psychology at the University of Utah, with a minor in Cognitive Science and a certification of Human Factors, and I am originally from Chicago. I also enjoy reading/writing, climbing, and spending time with my dog.

Yaqi Xu

Graduate Student

About: Yaqi's research interest is in language comprehension and cognitive control. She completed her Bachelor's of Science degree at Purdue University, and went on to earn her Masters degree in Psychological Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Current research projects are focused on using electrophysiology to investigate the interaction between sentence properties and working memory load during language comprehension.

Ashley Rosenfeld

Graduate Student

About: My research investigates the neural mechanisms underlying attention and cognitive control, and the way these processes interact with working memory, multisensory integration, and language comprehension. I am originally from Hawai'i, and completed my BA in Psychology at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Prior to UCSC, I conducted electrophysiology (EEG) and brain stimulation (rTMS) research at the Brain & Behavior Lab at UHM.
