Master’s Student -

After completing myundergraduate degree at McGill University in biology andanthropology, I am now in the second year of a master’s degree inneuroscience.I am interested in looking at the relationship between experience andbrain development. To do so, I have been studying a very unique populationof congenitally deaf individuals who vary in their age of exposure tolanguage. By using tools such as voxel based morphometry, I hope to gaininsight into how language deprivation may change grey matter and white matterconcentrations of certain areas of the brain.
