Stephen Gonzalez Research Technician Assistant California Institute of Technology (he/him) |
Biography
Hi my name is Stephen, I am a research assistant working with Antonio Rangel at Caltech, where I primarily collect and process eye tracking data, as well as implement task design. I recieved my MS in Neuroimaging and Informatics from the University of Southern California, and previously studied Psychology at the California State University of Fullerton as well as Mount San Antonio College. My primary research interests involve studying the neurological development of learning disabilities. I am interested in using MRI to search for neurological markers of learning disabilities, such as Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder. I am also interested in utilizing MRI to study the physical manifestations of anxiety, depression, and PTSD in the brain. |
