Nicole Calma-Roddin
College of Arts and SciencesNicole Calma-Roddin, Ph.D., assistant professor of behavioral sciences, had her article, published in Scientific Reports on July 8, 2020. The article examines electrical responses of the brain (in the form of EEG/ERPs) linked to long-term memory processing. Results showed evidence of interference effects between ERPs elicited by music and language stimuli, suggesting shared neural processing across these domains.
