Hurshitha Vasudevan
(Junior Research Fellow)
I am a post-graduate in Cognitive Science with a passion for multidisciplinary sciences and neuroimaging. My research interests encompass memory, aging, and affective neuroscience. As a Junior Research Fellow, I had the opportunity to actively contribute to these areas by conducting cognitive and neuropsychological tests, as well as developing and analysing neuroimaging protocols for the Cognitive Aging Study - Telugu. I also had the opportunity to work on the inter-relationship of bio-psycho factors in cognition in undergraduates with the interns. Beyond research, you'll often find me dancing or taking long walks with my headphones on.
