Emma was born and raised in Florida, and graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Behavior from Florida Atlantic University. Her academic journey is deeply rooted in the fascinating world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and the intricacies of human-computer interactions. She is working on enhancing S.P.E.A.C (Sensory Personalized EEG Assistive Communication), a non-invasive BCI designed for individuals impacted by ALS or stroke that translates brain signals into real-time communication. As a Wolfram Summer School student, she looks forward to exploring novel methods of communication using various signal processing techniques in Mathematica. She will also soon be attending The University of Rochester School of Medicine’s Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP), where she plans to dive deeper into computational cognitive neurophysiology and neural signal processing.
