Ori Elis

Ori received Bachelor’s degree from Smith College with a degree in both Clinical and Developmental Psychology as well as in Studio Art. After spending time working as a case manager for people with psychotic-spectrum disorders, she obtained her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University in 2006.  Her primary research interests revolve around emotional and cognitive processing in schizophrenia, first-break psychosis, and novel psychosocial interventions for the psychotic spectrum disorders.  She is currently working toward her PhD in Clinical Psychology at UC  Berkeley.


Suzie Hill

Suzie (B.A., UC Berkeley 2008) was a Lab Manager in the Bunge Lab.  She worked on S.T.O.M.P, which looked at the effects of cognitive training via game play on improving cognitive skills. She was also part of the N.O.R.A team that is working on elucidating how fluid reasoning changes with age throughout childhood.  She is particularly interested in helping both clinical and subclinical populations of children and looks to pursue an MD to become a pediatric neurologist.  She is currently working with Dr. Elysa Marco at UCSF looking at sensory processing through MEG for child with autism or sensory processing disorder.


Brian Johnson
Brian Johnson (B.A. Duke, ’06) was the project coordinator
for a longitudinal study titled the Neurodevelopment of
Reasoning Ability. This study seeks to characterize the neural correlates of fluid intelligence as it develops in healthy children. Brian
was also interested in the development of cognitive control over the human lifespan, specifically as it relates to emotion-regulation.

Samantha Wright
Samantha (B.S., UC Davis '06) is involved in several fMRI projects related to cognitive control, and all involving children. While she is interested in the typical development of fluid reasoning and top-down attentional modulation, her real passion is the study of neural correlates of cognitive control mechanisms in youth with Tourette Syndrome

Espen Hauk Helskog 
Espen Hauk Helskog (uinv of Oslo, BA 2005, MA 2008) worked in the
Bunge lab as a visiting research scholar from the University of Oslo
of Oslo. His background is in cognitive psychology and cognitive
 neuroscience. Espen worked on fMRI projects aiming to investigate
the neural substrate underlying relational reasoning. He also used conduct transcranial magnetic stimulation studies by using areas indentified in the various fMRI tasks. Furthermore Espen conducted a patient study investigating the effects of focal lesions on the different neural structures underlying relational reasoning, and thus was able to collect converging data from fMRI, TMS and lesion studies.


Omri Gillath
Omri was a postdoc in Dr. Phil Shaver's lab, studying behavioral systems (attachment, caregiving, and sex) and their underpinning mechanisms.  He is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas

Eveline Crone

Eveline is a former postdoctoral fellow in the Bunge laboratory, and is now an Assistant Professor of Developmental Psychology at Leiden University in The Netherlands. Her areas of interest are the development of executive functions, error/feedback processing, and decision-making.
