Marvin M. Chun, Ph.D. [vita]
Marvin M. Chun is a Professor of Psychology with joint faculty appointments in the Yale School of Medicine Department of Neurobiology, and the Yale College Cognitive Science Program. His lab uses functional brain imaging to understand how to improve memory, attention, conscious perception, and decision-making. He received his B.A. from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea, after having spent a junior year abroad at the University of California, Berkeley. He earned his Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. Prior to his current appointment at Yale, he was an Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University, and an Assistant Professor at Yale University. His research has been honored with a 2006 Troland Research Award from the US National Academy of Sciences, a 2002 American Psychological Association Early Career Award, the 2000 Chase Memorial Award from the Department of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University, and a 1998 APA Division 3 New Investigator Award. His laboratory has been funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. In Yale College he teaches Introduction to Psychology, for which he received the Phi Beta Kappa William DeVane Award for Teaching and Scholarship and the Lex Hixon Prize for Teaching Excellence.

Alice studies visual cognition. She is a member of Brian Scholl's Perception and Cognition Laboratory. She graduated from the University of San Francisco and worked in Lynn Robertson's lab at UC Berkeley before coming to Yale.
Emily J. Ward, B.A.[homepage] Emily is interested in what visual information we can acquire without conscious awareness, and how awareness contributes to representing information in the brain. At Yale, she works with Marvin Chun in the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory and with Brian Scholl in the Perception and Cognition Laboratory. She has also studied spatial cognition with Russell Epstein at the University of Pennslyvania and is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College
