Amie Durston

PhD Candidate

My research investigates the neural processing of emotional facial expressions using Event-related Potentials. My current focus is on threat-related expressions, and the factors that drive or influence their processing and perception.

When I am away from lab I enjoy hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, dancing, and crocheting.
