Dr. Michael Mack receives NRSA award from the NIMH

Michael Mack, postdoctoral fellow in the Preston Lab, received a Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA award from NIMH for his project titled “The mutual influence of attention and learning during knowledge acquisition”. Using a novel methodology combining functional magnetic resonance imaging and formal computational modeling, this project will investigate the neurobiological mechanisms that capture experiences and shape knowledge for effective learning.
