Mapping the mind | Colleen Mills Finnerty | TEDxJerseyCity

Brain science is changing how we think, about how we think. In the last 20 years this field has undergone enormous change and technological innovation. As a member of the Rutgers Mind-Brain Analysis Lab, Colleen conducts cutting edge research on how brain networks support decision making in humans. This research has shed light on how simultaneously efficient and biased our decision making can be. In today’s complex world, we are constantly bombarded with information, and constantly making decisions. In addition to discussing her research, Colleen will translate the lessons she has learned from her 8 years analyzing the brain into cognitive strategies for coping with our “Brave New World.”

Colleen Mills-Finnerty holds a M.A. degree in Psychology and is a 5th year Ph.D. student. Her research has been published in academic journals such as Neuroimage. She is a Mortimer D. Sackler Institute Fellow, and her work has been presented at over a dozen national and international academic conferences.
