The LUMeN Lab

Our LUMeNaries were representing at the Brain Bee Regional Competition held at Emory University last weekend! 🙌 We brought back our fan-favorite Stroop Effect game and got to share info about our current studies with some really great teens and their families. 🐝

Huge congratulations to our undergraduate RA, Brooke Holsinger, for winning a poster award at the inaugural Society of Clinical Psychology conference held in Atlanta, GA earlier this month! 🎉 Brooke’s presentation came from data she analyzed as part of her Senior Thesis project.
