Shawn Schwartz, M.S., M.A.

Shawn (B.S. ’19, M.S. ’21, UCLA; M.A. '23, Stanford) is a PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience at Stanford Psychology. His research leverages multimodal neuroimaging – fMRI, PET/MR, scalp EEG, and pupillometry - to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying fluctuations in attention and episodic memory. As a researcher on AMASS, he is specifically interested in how group and individual differences in molecular and structural biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease pathology relate to variance in moment-to-moment fluctuations in sustained attention and goal-state representation when attempting to bring a memory back to mind. He is funded by Stanford Psychology, the Center for Mind, Brain, Computation and Technology at the Stanford Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and an Agility Project Grant from the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.
