Pilot Students

Group Coordinator: Trevor Baer (tlbaer@ucdavis.edu) 

The Ranganath and Yonelinas Labs share a joint work space and often collaborate across labs. Both labs focus on human memory, with current projects exploring stress and memory, schemas, aging research, and patient research. Their combined expertise allows for behavioral, eye-tracking, EEG, inter-cranial, and fMRI research. The two labs have piloted the Mentorship Program for two groups of undergrads, for a total of three years.
