Dr. Patrick Cox
Postdoctoral Fellow Patrick completed a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Cognitive Science from Georgetown University in 2008. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the same institution in Max Riesnhuber's Lab for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. In August of 2017, Patrick began his postdoc at GW with the aim of using "big data" approaches to study the effect of training and experience on object categorization and visual search. patrickhcox.weebly.com/ |

Michelle Kramer
Ph.D. Student Michelle is a fifth-year doctoral student in the Cognitive Neuroscience program. She received her undergraduate degree in 2016 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, double majoring in Exercise & Sports Science and Psychology. Her research involves using "big data" to investigate factors that influence visual search performance, such as the role of experience and learned regularities. She is also applying these data to improving experimental practices to explore how extraneous factors such as motor initiation time and trial sequence influence results. |

Samoni Nag
Ph.D. Student Samoni is a third-year graduate student in cognitive neuroscience. She graduated from Emory University in 2016, double majoring in Psychology and Human Health. Afterwards, she worked as a lab manager in Julie Golomb's lab at The Ohio State University. Samoni's research interests include visual attention, applied visual search, and the influences of selection history on search strategies. |
