Megan is broadly interested in the plasticity of higher cognitive functions, such as sustained attention and memory, and she uses real-time fMRI neurofeedback to try to alter or perturb cognitive states and affect behavior. She was going to study math or physics but started working in a neuroengineering lab as an undergraduate and got captivated by questions about the mind and brain.
