Originally from Ontario, Michelle completed her graduate studies at the University of Waterloo. During her graduate studies, she focused on studying a rare condition called Synaesthesia with the aim to learn more about how the brain integrates sensory information. Following her PhD, she drove across the country to Vancouver, British Columbia where she worked as a postdoc in the BARLab (Brain and Attention Research Lab). There she worked with many aspiring young scientists and learned how to apply perceptual effects to real-world situations. While there, she stumbled across a very reliable effect, finding that it is very difficult to make eye contact for long periods of time. This is the main focus of her research interests currently.
