Dr. Christopher Cox

Our knowledge of the world shapes our path through it: the decisions we make, the things we attend to and ignore, and what we think we know about an unfamiliar environment when we enter it for the first time. How this knowledge is acquired, and a brain-based account of what that knowledge is and how it is physically represented in the brain, are critical questions for cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. The ReLearn Lab applies a combination of behavioral research, computational modelling, machine learning, and neuroimaging to investigate the representational format of semantic knowledge.

Lauryn Burleigh

Lauryn received her undergraduate degree from the University of New Orleans in 2015 and completed her master's work at LSU under Dr. Steven Greening in 2019. She conducts studies utilizing the fMRI at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, researching the neural mechanisms and psychophysiological responses of emotion and cognition. She is currently studying fear in mental imagery and is more broadly interested in the neural processing of emotions in anxiety and PTSD. She has a particular interest in statistics, coding, and additional analyses such as Bayesian statistics and model based analyses. Outside of school, Lauryn likes to go hiking and camping with her dogs and bearded dragon, do yoga, and garden.

Stan West

Stan is a second-year graduate student in the Cognitive and Brain Sciences program at LSU. He completed his undergraduate degree at LSU and worked in an EEG lab working on projects related to non-verbal communication. He is currently working with Dr. Haebig and Dr. Cox from the ReLearn Lab to investigate the semantic organization of words in children on the autism spectrum. Stan wishes to continue his training in language processing and analysis in future projects. 

Alex Lawriw

Alex received his B.S. in Psychology from the University of Dayton in 2018. Upon graduating, he spent some time at Monarch Center for Autism, teaching children on the autism spectrum in 1-on-1 settings. His current research interests lie within the field of spatial cognition, particularly the encoding and retrieval of spatial information. In his free time, he enjoys working out, hanging out with friends, and playing video games.
