E. Darcy Burgund, Assistant Professor (B.A., Skidmore
College, 1993; Ph.D., University of Minnesota, 2000)
Darcy Burgund specializes in high-level visual cognition
and memory, with a particular focus on object recognition
and reading processes in adults and young children.
Her current research uses behavioral and neuroimaging
techniques to pursue two main lines of inquiry—(1)
the effects of age and ability on perceptual tuning
for letters, and (2) the extent to which visual form
systems are dedicated to processing particular stimulus
types. She teaches courses on cognitive neuroscience,
neuroimaging techniques, and research methods.
