Dr. Nora Beier received a prestigious NIH/NICHD Postdoctoral Fellowship (F32) to investigate the neural correlates of attention during speech comprehension. She is interested in whether attention is pre-allocated to particular words in time through rhythmic and non-rhythmic temporal predictions. Her work will use EEG, ERPs and behavioral measures. She works with mentors Dr. Mangun and Dr. Swaab.

John Nadra a fourth-year doctoral candidate, was awarded a National Eye Institute Traineeship for 2022-2023. He will gain additional training as part of the UC Davis Vision Science Training Program (T32). His research is focused on elucidating neural mechanisms of willed attention and visual perception. Congratulations John!
