Research

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Department of Neuroscience, UVM, 01/2023, 05/2023, Assisted Private Investigator Dr. Julie Dumas with the evaluation of brain functioning in post-menopausal women after receiving choline. Collected and manipulated magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data into Excel for further analysis. Compared the MRS signal on the choline day to placebo day using a paired t-test, along with other statistical tests. Oversaw MRS data calculations from MRI scanners. Observed how MRS calculations are processed using standard analysis streams for MRI analysis. Contributed to hypothesis generation and data acquisition of the MRS data using various applications, such as DICOM viewer. Observed functional MRI testing, accompanied by a full-time research assistant.
