Neural Mechanisms Underlying Body Perception and Action or Why My Sister is the Better Swimmer
Catherine Reed is the McElwee Family Professor of Psychology and George R. Roberts Fellow at CMC where she teaches courses in psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience.
Reed uses electrophysiology (EEG/ERP) and behavioral methods to investigate the influences of the body on attention, perception, emotional processing, and economic decision-making. She also investigates how the brain integrates information about vision, touch, and the body.
She has been published in Cortex, Brain, Social Neuroscience, Attention Perception & Performance, and Emotion, among others. Her grants from the NSF train students in EEG/ERP data collection and analysis, providing them with skills relevant for positions in medical and research laboratories.
Professor Reed’s Athenaeum presentation celebrates and highlights her installation as McElwee Family Professor of Psychology at CMC.
