My name is Nicholas Christopher-Hayes, and I am currently a doctoral student in the MADLab at the Center for Mind and Brain at UC Davis.

My research interests primarily focus on the neural correlates of relational memory and attention. Specifically, I want to better understand how these systems change and interact across the lifespan. To accomplish this, I believe it is important to understand their trajectories during development and aging, both typically and under the constraints of divergent neurological or chronic health conditions. I am training to combine neuropsychological, neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and other scientific methods as investigative tools to pursue these research questions.
