Kara Presbrey, BS

Graduate Student

Fascinated by the brain since childhood, over the years I've been given opportunities to participate in a variety of research efforts studying topics ranging from emotion and addiction to decision-making, cognitive flexibility and mathematical modeling of nonlinear neural dynamics. Now in the Wang Lab, I'm exploring motor sequence learning and memory in patients with Parkinson's Disease.

My hobbies include learning as much about as many things as possible, dissecting human individual and collective behavior, philosophy, the arts and tending to my indoor jungle.
