B.A. Baldwin-Wallace 1991; M.A., Ph.D. Kent State 1994, 1996.

My research examines cognitive and physiological processes associated with auditory perception, cognition, and action.
I am particularly interested in perception and action from an evolutionary perspective. My interests are quite diverse, and my investigations have overlapped significantly with evolutionary theory, animal cognition, music, development, emotion, memory, and gender studies. I use behavioral, psychophysical, physiological, and neuroimaging techniques.

B.A. Anderson 1998; M.A., Ph.D. Emory 2002, 2006.

Trained as a clinical psychologist, my research interests lie in the
domains of international student cultural adjustment, nonverbal
communication, and their interaction (i.e., does "reading" emotion in
faces and voices make it easier to fit in when one moves to a new
country?). I also dabble in community psychology and have performed
research on ethnic minority mental health, academic
achievement/self-esteem, and emotion recognition.
