Member Profile


This month's featured member is Gwen Schmidt, a graduate student in the Deptartment of Psychology at Colorado State University.  Here's an excerpt of her profile:

1) What are your research interests?

I am primarily interested in how the brain mediates language processing, and in particular the role of the right hemisphere. My work so far has focused on figurative language and its relationship to the right hemisphere. I am currently extending this interest in a number of directions. One involves linking the difference between semantic processing in the cerebral hemispheres to the differences between the hemispheres in visual processing and even other domains such as auditory processing. Another extention that I  am working on involves exploring the functioning of persons with autism with respect to figurative language, and how that is realized in brain structure differences.




2) What do you like most about what you do/study?

I love learning, and this is a career where I will never stop doing that. I am constantly challenged to address new ideas and learn more about the world, how we think, and how our brains work, so I will never be bored. I also thoroughly enjoy the mix of independent work plus interacting with others.
