Ashley has a degree in interaction design and a PhD in experimental psychology. Her ​postdoctoral work in statistics, philosophy and neuroscience has cultivated a unique ability to leverage interdisciplinary efforts in service of tackling a wide range of different research problems at the intersection of cognitive science and adaptive medical technologies.

Current Projects:

• Multi-modal modeling of brain and behavior. Analyzing intracranial EEG and behavioral video for understanding neural basis of social perception during naturalistic interactions (MIT collaboration with Nancy Kanwisher).

• Patient-facing visualization of intracranial brain data. Building interactive tools for patients to view brain data recording by their implanted neuromodulation devices.

• Engaging patients in neuroscience research. Developed the lab’s patient engagement initiative to align neuroscience research priorities with patient-identified needs and experiences.
