Summary

Mackenzie V. Wise is a graduate student of the Cognitive and Brain Sciences program, where she has worked in Dr. Michael Crognale's lab since 2019. She has been working with EEG methods for nearly a decade, using this technique to address various topics ranging from features of cognitive processing to phase 1 clinical trials for epilepsy treatment.
