Hajnal received her PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Eötvös
University, Budapest in 2010. Most of her
PhD work was conducted in Elyse Sussman’s Cognitive Neuroscience
Laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, where
she was a visiting PhD student for three years. Hajnal also has a
Masters in Psychology with specialization in Cognitive Psychology and
Behavioral Sciences. She is interested in behavioral and
neurophysiological aspects of general sequence processing operations
underlying language comprehension as well as usage-based processing
characteristics of language patterns.

Ethan graduated summa cum laude from Saint Louis University
in 2011 with an Honors B.A. in Psychology and minor
concentrations in Philosophy and History. He worked
extensively in Dr. Chris Conway’s lab there, researching
cognitive development and statistical learning, primarily
using event-related potentials. Moving forward at Cornell
as part of the IMAGINE program, Ethan wishes to further
study the cognitive development of language and learning
utilizing both neuroscience and modeling methodologies. If
he has spare time, it will likely be spent playing soccer,
basketball, and the French Horn, biking, or skiing.

Stewart graduated from the University of Texas where he received B.A.
degrees in Archaeology and English. After working on archaeological
projects throughout the American Southwest, he joined the department of
Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware, where
he received an M.A. in 2009. During his time at Delaware, he focused
primarily on psycholinguistics and used event-related potentials to
research the role played by prosody in sentence processing. At Cornell,
Stewart hopes to challenge some widespread assumptions about the
biological nature of language through electrophysiological and
computational modelling studies on learning and processing.

Jennifer graduated magna cum laude from Williams College,
Massachusetts, where she received B.A. degrees in Psychology and
Philosophy and was the college's first Cognitive Science
concentrator. She also studied at the University of Oxford (host
affiliation: Exeter), where she successfully undertook Tutorial
Papers and Final Examinations in developmental psychology,
metaphysics, linguistics and formal logic. Here in the Cognitive
Neuroscience Lab at Cornell University, Jennifer's focal graduate
work uses an individual differences framework for examining both the
nature of statistical learning and its empirical relationship to
language. She further researches the statistical learning of long-
distance dependencies and, in collaboration with the Cornell
B.A.B.Y. Lab, the development of intra-/cross-modal statistical
learning across infancy.

Alexa is a sophomore in the college of Arts and Sciences. She is
majoring in Psychology and planning to minor in Biology. She is most
interested in the development and acquisition of language as well as
disorders that affect these processes and is very excited to be a member
of the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. Alexa enjoys dancing and doing public
service in her spare time and is involved in a community service
organization called Into the Streets.

Jaclyn is a sophomore Linguistics major in the College of
Arts and Sciences. Her research interests include language
processing and the cognitive aspects of language
development. In her spare time, Jaclyn sings in the Chorale
and is a founding member of Less Than Three, a new a
cappella group.

Julia is a sophomore at Cornell University double
majoring in Psychology and Spanish. She is interested in
language acquisition in a multilingual brain, and is looking
forward to gaining experience in Professor Christiansen's
lab. When not studying Julia enjoys making sweet coffee
drinks as a barista at Libe Cafe, dancing in two
extracurricular dance groups, and trying to cook.

Abigail is a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences
majoring in Psychology. She is interested in language
development and processing in addition to the developmental
disorders that cause difficulty in language acquisition. In
her spare time Abigail is involved in the Cornell Figure
Skating Club, the Cornell Club Field Hockey Team, and two
environmental clubs on campus.
