Mark your calendar and join us for the next REACH Health Equity Seminar featuring a presentation by Mary Woody, PhD on "Incorporating Diverse Real-World Experiences into Neurocognitive Paradigms: Application of EEG and Immersive Technologies." 

Dr. Woody, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, uses steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) to provide a temporally sensitive biological index of attention to competing visual stimuli at the level of neuronal populations in the visual cortex. Her current research investigates the visuocortical dynamics of affect-biased attention in the development of adolescent depression. 

The seminar will also include a discussion of breaking commentary titled “Dealing with Diversity in Psychology: Science and Ideology” by Dr. Steven Roberts (preprint).

REACH invites investigators and research staff of all career stages and health equity research experience to participate in our ongoing monthly seminar. The first half of each seminar will be spent discussing 1. newly published or seminal articles related to determinants of health inequities or 2. Important topics such as “ways to reduce bias in your scientific method” and “how can we change systems through our research.” The second half of each seminar will showcase research being conducted within our department to grow collaborations, generate innovative ideas, and provide constructive feedback to support the professional growth of the presenter.
