Body, Mind, and Brain Lab

James is an undergraduate on the pre-med track, majoring in Cognitive Studies and minoring in Piano Performance. He is interested in understanding more about the nature of psychosis, particularly that of schizophrenia, and the research that is currently being done to develop effective treatments for schizophrenic patients. He is also interested in exploring the spectrum of one’s sense of embodiment and identity in the context of abnormal sensitivity, as present in schizophrenia, and supernormal sensitivity, as present in highly-trained athletes and musicians. James also taught English to Taiwanese children one summer, even though he didn’t speak the local language!
