Marie-Anick is a PhD student in the Psychology (Research) program, where she is co-supervised by Dr. Emily Coffey (Coffey Lab: Audition, Sleep & Plasticity) and Dr. Mickael Deroche (Laboratory for Hearing and Cognition). Her research focuses on misophonia, a form of decreased tolerance to specific sounds in which individuals are extremely sensitive to selective sounds that trigger a negative emotional state.
Cassandra Neumann
Co-Editor in Chief
Email: cassandra.neumann12@gmail.com
Cassandra completed by Undergraduate degree at Concordia University in honours psychology. She then worked with Dr. Ben Eppinger studying lifespan decision-making before starting her Masters degree at Concordia University in Clinical Psychology in 2020 under the supervision of Dr. Mickael Deroche. As part of the Laboratory for Hearing and Cognition, Cassandra studies the developmental trajectory of emotion recognition across the lifespan. More specifically, she is interested in how the recognition of emotionally loaded auditory stimuli changes across the lifespan from childhood into adulthood.
Alexa Ruel
Psychology Journals Liaison
Email: alexa.ruel@mail.concordia.ca
Alexa is an Experimental Psychology PhD student in the Lifespan Decision-Making Laboratory, under the supervision of Dr. Ben Eppinger (CRDH). Broadly, she is interested in modeling developmental changes in learning and decision-making strategies in order to better understand how school-aged children as well as older adults learn and make decisions. With this research she aims to contribute to work aimed at supporting their learning and decision-making. For her PhD, she is examining how the use of model-based, model-free and other intermediate decision strategies change across the lifespan. To do so, she uses methods such as electroencephalogram (EEG), single trial analysis and computational modeling.

Editor
Email: Stefanie.Trebmlay@mail.concordia.ca
Stefanie is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Concordia’s Physics department, in the lab of Dr. Claudine Gauthier (Quantitative Physiology Imaging Lab). Her research interests are in leveraging multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrasts to characterize brain health, especially the fiber tracts connecting brain regions. Stefanie’s research, which is funded by CIHR, primarily focuses on developing novel multivariate approaches to analyze MRI images in order to obtain a more comprehensive view of the impact of various diseases on the brain’s white matter and its link to cognition. She is also interested in a wide array subjects relating to psychology, mental health and psychiatry.

I obtained my Bsc (behavioural neuroscience) in 2022 from Concordia University. Now, I am completing my masters in psychology at the Conrod Venture Lab under the supervision of Dr. Patricia Conrod where I am exploring the impact of cannabis use on functional brain activity in the default mode network across adolescence. My interests lie at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience with a particular focus on the relations between substance use, brain function, and affective disorders.
Jasmine Kotsiopoulos
Editor
Email: jasmine.kotsiopoulos@mail.concordia.ca
Jasmine is a second year Master’s student in the Clinical Psychology program. Her research, under the supervision of Dr. Carsten Wrosch in the Personality, Aging, and Health Lab, focuses on motivation among older adults and how it can benefit and protect physical activity engagement. Specifically, her master's thesis explores how health engagement control strategies and self-protective control strategies can increase and maintain light, moderate, and/or vigorous physical activity.
