Summary
Marian Berryhill began her research training as an undergraduate at Hamilton College working with vibrotactile psychophysicist George A. Gescheider. After college she served as a Peace Corps volunteer. Dr. Berryhill earned her doctorate in cognitive neuroscience from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. As a graduate student in the lab of Howard C. Hughes, she studied stimulus-response compatibility using eye movements, psychophysics and neuroimaging. She then investigated parietal lobe contributions to working memory, spatial perception and episodic memory as a post-doc mentored by Ingrid Olson at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. As the PI of the Memory and Brain Lab (MBLab) at the University of Βι¶ΉΣ³», her research continues to investigate cognitive domains including working memory, perception and attention. We also investigate brain-behavior links by including clinical and subclinical populations such as those with a history of concussion, and stroke survivors.
The MB Lab applies various approaches, including behavior, eyetracking, neuropsychology, neurostimulation (tDCS, HD-tDCS, tACS, TMS), high-density EEG, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and neuroimaging (fMRI).
