Repository for first CFSS homework assignment
Hello all (or should I say 'Hello World'?),
I'm an international student from The Bahamas(see islands in yellow below).
I'm currently in the MAPSS Program. I did my undergrad at home in psychology and am still focusing on psych at UChicago.
My interests cover:
-
Cognitive Neuroscience
-
Language
-
Bilingualism
-
Linguistic Relativity
-
Basically, I'm interested in how language affects how we experience the world and I think one of the best ways to understand experience is by studying the brain.
I get to explore these interests as an RA in the Expereince and Cognition Lab.
A lot of the work being done in cognitive science uses programming, at the very least for data analysis. I'm hoping to gain programming and data science experience so that I can broaden my research possibilities and present myself as an asset to current and future labs.
Looking forward to a productive quarter.
Alex
