Grace Edwards, Ph.D

Staff Scientist in the Section on Learning & Plasticity at NIMH

About

Dr. Edwards received her BSc. in Psychology from the University of Glasgow and went on to complete a Masters in Brain Imaging Research and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience & Biomedical Systems. Her research focuses on the interaction between homotopic visual and attention areas, and the impact of that interaction on behavior. She investigates large- and fine-scale dependency within and between networks which result in stable sensory perception. To answer her research questions, she uses eye-tracking, brain stimulation with TMS and tES, and brain imaging using fMRI (3T & 7T) and EEG.
