Top SchoolSamantha Cohen is a cognitive neuroscience postdoctoral researcher with eight years of experience applying machine learning to EEG and fMRI to probe how the brain processes naturalistic stimuli. After graduate training at CUNY and a postdoc at Columbia, she now leads computational analyses at Temple University, combining rigorous experimental design with advanced pattern‑learning methods. Her work bridges multimodal neurophysiology and predictive modeling, translating complex brain signals into interpretable cognitive insights. Unusually for a neuroscientist, her background in visual arts informs a strong sensitivity to stimulus design and storytelling in experiments, helping her craft engaging, ecologically valid paradigms.
