Neuroscience Research- fMRI's and beyond

Psychology major and Neuroscience minor James Taylor has worked on numerous projects with Psychology Professor Kevin Wilson analyzing brain behavior.

Wilson's area of specialty is how the brain processes visual information, such as recognizing objects, and has logged many hours in Gettysburg's Cognitive Neuroscience Lab.

Over the last two and a half years, Taylor has grown in this role and is involved in designing experiments, developing the hypotheses, and more recently has even assisted with writing manuscripts for publication with Professor Wilson.

They also traveled together to San Diego where James presented a poster of his research at the Society for Neuroscience Conference.
