Samia Islam

Job title Graduate Student

I graduated from Boston University in 2020 with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in biology. As an undergraduate, I worked in labs studying the behavioral and neurological underpinnings of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Broadly, my research interests are in understanding the mechanisms of both healthy and diseased aging. At the CNL, I am particularly interested in understanding how different risk factors contribute to arterial stiffening and cognitive aging, using different neuroimaging techniques and neuropsychiatric tests.

Ed Maclin

Job title Senior Scientist, Ph.D.

I received my Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from New York University in 1983. I have 30 years of experience applying a variety of neuroimaging modalities including MEG, EEG/ERP, MRI/fMRI and rCBF to both basic and clinical questions. My role at the CNL is primarily to implement new procedures for running cognitive experiments and for collecting and analyzing neuroimaging data using EROS, NIRS, fMRI and evoked potentials. I also provide training, troubleshooting and consultation for visitors and collaborators.
