Summary
🎓
Top SchoolAmanda Lebel is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in cerebellar function, autism, and language, bringing eight years of neuroimaging and computational experience from UC Berkeley and UT Austin to UT Southwestern. She combines deep expertise in fMRI data collection, preprocessing pipelines, and machine learning approaches to probe cognitive contributions of the cerebellum and how visual information shapes language representations. As a former graduate student instructor in cognitive neuroscience and biophysical neurobiology, she translates complex methods into teachable insights and reproducible pipelines. Amanda’s background spans human psychophysics, animal work, and infrastructure design for large datasets, and she uniquely bridges hands-on experimental work with neuro+ML modeling. Based in Berkeley, she is known for recruiting and managing diverse participant populations and building data organization systems that enable broad team use.
