Postdoctoral Fellows

Anvita Gopal completed her Ph.D. at the IIT in Gandihinagar, India examining the effect of John Henryism on mental health within the Indian caste system. Her work will focus on the neural (EEG) and psychophysical dynamics of boredom, as well as examining the role of technology and social connectedness for those high in boredom proneness.

Graduate Students

Chantal Trudel is completing her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience where she will examine the relation between boredom proneness, interoception, and the capacity to make meaning using behavioural and psychophysics methods.

Jamie Nettinga is completing her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience where she will explore boredom proneness, social connectedness and external determinants of the trait.  

 

Honours Thesis Students

Dylan Tan is exploring how the highly boredom prone represent the valence and arousal of various emotions.
