I am a fourth year honours student investigating how psychotic experiences relate to brain responses of surprise. Specifically, I want to understand what sensory prediction errors can tell us about positive symptoms of first-episode psychosis among young people. I try to answer this question by recording and examining EEG data recorded during certain sensory processing and target detection tasks. This data could help us better understand the neurological mechanisms underlying the early stages of psychosis. Aside from my work in the lab, I spend much of my free time tending to my garden, playing video games, and playing with my cats 😺
