Athenia Ibragimov

Lab Director-Research Advisor

I coordinate and manage introductory orientations for ERP and mid-semester check-ins to ensure that all members are aligned with the lab's goals and objectives. A critical aspect of my role is to ensure that members properly cite research, which involves ensuring that CITI training is complete and that ResearchGate accounts are set up. I also assist with responding to inquiries about programs used in the lab, such as Testable, Endnote, and Qualtrics. Additionally, I help lab members with scholarships and applications to ensure that they have the necessary support to progress in their academic and professional careers. As previously mentioned, I assist with participant recruitment, a crucial task for the success of our studies. Lastly, I serve as a mentor and respond to inquiries and concerns from lab members, making sure that everyone feels supported and empowered in their roles.

Alejandro Gili

Lab Director-Project Instructor

I answer inquiries regarding the IRB (Institutional Review Board) process or IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee), ensuring that all members are aware of the ethical considerations and guidelines that need to be followed in our research. I also introduce projects to members and assign them based on their interests to ensure that everyone is engaged and motivated in their work. Another important task is to find conferences, both in and out of state, that would be beneficial for lab members to attend or present their work. Additionally, I maintain the Shared Drive organized and updated, which is crucial for the efficient operation of the lab. As mentioned earlier, I answer inquiries about programs used, such as Testable, Endnote, or Qualtrics. I also instruct members about TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and EEG (Electroencephalogram), and the overall goal of the lab: "How and why the self evolved in the human brain". My role also involves assisting the Membership Director with interviews, mid-semester check-ins, and participant recruitment. Lastly, serving as a mentor and responding to inquiries and concerns from lab members is a continuous responsibility that I take very seriously.

My work also involves conducting research on racial biasing and brain methods in racial-free imaging. This involves investigating how racial biases may affect the way we interpret images and the methods we can use to eliminate these biases. Moreover, I also work on projects related to self-deception, employing TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to investigate how self-deception manifests in the brain and how it can be potentially mitigated. These research areas are critical for understanding the underlying mechanisms of racial bias and self-deception and developing strategies to address these issues.
