Elizabeth Wakefield is a fourth year graduate student concentrating in developmental cognitive neuroscience. She is studying how the neural mechanisms underlying gesture perception and production change across development and determining the neural basis for the facilitative effect of gesture use on learning, using fMRI. Elizabeth had also conducted studies investigating how the brain processes music, depending on how the music has been learned by experts and novices.
