PEOPLE
Derek Evan Nee, Ph.D.
Dr. Derek Nee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience, and Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Medicine. He studies the neural bases of cognitive control and working memory using a combination of functional MRI, computational techniques, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Jongmin Lee, M.A.
Jongmin Lee is a graduate student pursuing his Ph.D. in the Nee lab. He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Psychology from Chungnam National University. His previous research investigated the relationship between visual and central attention. His current research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms of interaction between the internal models and cognitive control.
Brittney Thompson, M.S.
Brittney Thompson is a fifth-year doctoral student in Clinical Psychology working in the Nee Lab. She holds a Bachelor of Science from American University and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland. Her research focuses on neuropsychological markers of reward processing and their role in symptom clusters such as anhedonia, with the aim of informing translational interventions.
Joshua Rhilinger, B.S.
Josh earned his bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Behavior at the University of Notre Dame, where he used behavioral paradigms and TMS to study cognition and working memory. He gained experience using MRI methodologies at the University of California, Davis and is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience. His research interests lie in investigating the neural correlates of cognition, particularly working memory.
Jacob Yost, B.S.
​Jacob is a research assistant for the Nee lab. He received his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Florida State University. He is currently involved with projects studying the neural basis of cognitive control. He plans to pursue his Ph.D. with interests in TMS, neuromodulation, and working memory.
