The CBrA lab was excited to have several of our members presenting their novel research findings at UAB’s 2025 Graduate Research Symposium on Wednesday, Nov 19!
CBrA staff member and Master’s student Jeevika Thota (left) presented on her work “The Impact of Signal Quality (tSNR) on Neuroimaging Data”; first-year Medical/Clinical PhD student Paula Argueta (center) presented on her work “The Impact of Anxiety on Reading Comprehension and Decoding in Autistic Children”; second-year Applied Developmental Psychology PhD student Fariea Bakul (right) presented on her work “Social Communication and Brain Connectivity in Autism”.
Paula was also selected to give one of the graduate student “lightning talks”, during which she had the opportunity to give a 3-minute presentation on her research to the entire symposium. We are so proud of her amazing work in sharing this valuable research!
We also want to give a shout-out to Samina Ansari (right)– an Applied Developmental Psychology PhD student under Dr. Kristi Guest’s mentorship who collaborates with the CBrA lab– on her own symposium presentation! We are honored as a lab to have so many bright individuals as lab members and lab affiliates. Congratulations Jeevika, Paula, Fariea, and Samina on your hard work!
