Arielle (she/her) completed her undergraduate and Master’s degrees in neuroscience at Brandeis in 2016 while researching visual and auditory attention. As a graduate student at Stanford funded by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship, Arielle identified fMRI and EEG markers of attention impairments in individuals with depression and anxiety. She also conducted research as a Stanford Mind, Brain Computation and Technology trainee, developing computational models for understanding attention and mental effort. In her post-doc, Arielle is exploring how environmental factors impact the development of personalized functional brain networks supporting cognition. Outside of lab, Arielle enjoys reading, baking, skiing, and teaching kids about the brain.
