LoTemplio380 S 1530 E BEH S 502 sara.lotemplio@psych.utah.eduSalt Lake City, UT 84112 twitter: @saralotemplioRoom 1104 EducationPhD Student in Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Utah, Degree expected 2022.Master of Science in Cognition and Neural Sciences, University of Utah, 2018. Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in neuroscience (honors) and in Environmental Science with a concentration in marine science (distinction), Colby College 2016.Research InterestsI primarily study the cognitive neuroscience of cognitive control and attention. Essentially, this means that I am interested in studying how our brains stay on task. I primarily use electroencephalography (EEG) in my research. One area of research I've been particularly interested in recently is exploring how cognitive control functions in our brains change when we spend time outside in nature. I also have a background and secondary interest in language and memory research. Research ExperienceGraduate Research Fellowship, National Science Foundation, University of Utah (2019- present).
