Rob completed his PhD at Vanderbilt University, forwent postdoctoral training, and accepted an appointment at Boston University in 2016, where he is currently the Director of the Cognitive & Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory (Reinhart Lab) and on the faculty in the Departments of Psychological & Brain Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. Rob’s research primarily uses electrophysiological measurements of brain activity, computational modeling, noninvasive neuromodulation, and behavioral tasks to investigate the mechanisms of visual perception and cognition in healthy younger and older adults, and people with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. His research includes the development of improved noninvasive neuromodulation methods for the repair of neurocognitive functions in people with schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and age-related memory impairment. Rob is the recipient of federal, private, and philanthropic support and was honored to receive the 2022 Science & PINS Prize for Neuromodulation from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the 2023 Innovator Award from the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF).

Wen is a Postdoctoral Fellow, and her major research interest is aging and memory. Wen received her BS from Beijing Normal University and PhD from Peking University. Her PhD focused on the neural mechanisms of attentional control, especially how humans ignore distractors based on attentional templates in working memory and long-term memory. Her work also involved how high-level factors, such as learning and expectation, modulate the inhibition process.

Shrey received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India. Following graduation, he worked as a Junior Research Intern at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where he studied component processes of endogenous attention. During his graduate studies, Shrey is interested in exploring the cognitive mechanisms underlying learning and memory in humans using electrophysiology and noninvasive brain stimulation. Outside of the lab, Shrey enjoys reading about languages, writing systems and legal theories.

Chris received a BA in mathematics and psychology from the University of Southern New Hampshire. Before graduate school, Chris spent several years working in research labs studying visual perception, memory, and consciousness. In the Reinhart Lab, Chris is interested in studying the neural mechanisms supporting visual working memory and semantic memory. He is also interested in developing procedures for causally manipulating working memory capacity using noninvasive brain stimulation.

Frederik is a PhD student in the Brain, Behavior & Cognition program at the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Before joining Boston University, he received a Master’s in Mathematical Medicine and Biology from the University of Nottingham, UK and a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Leipzig, Germany. His research interests focus on representational formats in visual working memory and EEG decoding analyses. Outside of the lab, Frederik enjoys beekeeping, riding his motorcycle, and spending time with family.

Debra received her BS and MSE from Johns Hopkins University, where she completed a master’s thesis on motor learning post-stroke. In the Reinhart lab, Debra is interested in dissecting visual working and long-term memory via behavioral and computational approaches. Outside of the lab, Debra serves on the board of GWISE at BU, a student organization focused on development of graduate students, DEI advocacy programs and volunteering.

Megan is a Master’s student in the Psychology program at Boston University. She is originally from Connecticut and obtained her BA in Neuroscience at Stonehill College in North Easton, Massachusetts. She also obtained a graduate certificate in intraoperative neuromonitoring at the University of Connecticut and currently works for NuVasive Clinical Services as a Neurophysiologist in the operating room. Megan’s research interests include electrophysiology, noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, and neurodegenerative disorders. In her free time, Megan enjoys traveling, working out, and spending time with her friends.

Feiyang is a Master’s student in the Psychological and Brain Sciences program. He graduated from UCSD with a BS in Clinical Psychology, intending to pursue a career in Clinical Neuropsychology. Feiyang’s research interests include diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, relating neuronal degeneration with cognitive decline, as well as exploring the intervention at the phase of mild cognitive impairment. In his free time, Feiyang enjoys reading, working out, and cooking.

Douglas is a graduate student studying Neurobiology at Tufts University. As a longtime resident of Boston, he attended Boston University as an undergraduate student, where he obtained a degree in Neuroscience. For his master’s thesis, Douglas is working towards understanding the interactions between Alzheimer’s Disease pathologies and glucocorticoid inhibitors. Outside of the lab, Douglas enjoys reading, rock climbing and sampling great foods around the city.

Chris is an undergraduate student majoring in Philosophy and Neuroscience on the pre-med track at Boston University. He is a volunteer at Reinhart Lab and is interested in cognitive neuroscience, especially as it relates to neuroplasticity and clinical applications of research. In his time off, Chris enjoys playing piano, exploring the city with friends, and spending time with his dogs.

Seth is an undergraduate senior at Boston University studying Psychology and Neuroscience. He is interested in valuation, probabilistic learning, and executive control and hopes to better understand decision making in both humans and other animals. He is a research assistant at the Pepperberg Avian Cognition Lab, volunteers at the Reinhart Lab, and has previously volunteered in the Decision & Cognition Lab. In his spare time, he enjoys birdwatching, running, and cooking.

Ana is an undergraduate student at Boston University, with an interest in the field of neuropsychology with a strong focus on the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Outside of her academic pursuits, Ana enjoys travel, reading, and unleashing her creativity through writing.
