Warren Jones, B.A.
Graduate Student, Neuroscience
I am a graduate student in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (INP) at Yale. My work in the MRRC is focused on combining eye-tracking technologies with functional neuroimaging in order to characterize and quantify neural responses during natural viewing. In particular, I hope to explore fMRI correlates of visual salience (when a person feels an attentional pull to one part of an image rather than another) and the relation of those salience responses to individual differences in learning and memory. In related work, I also study the development of atypical visual scanning and its relation to social functioning in individuals with autism.
