Natalie is a cognitive neuroscientist studying different ways in which memory affects, and is affected by, decisions. She received her Ph.D in Psychology from Columbia University, advised by Daphna Shohamy, where she researched how people evaluate options in the lack of direct experience, for exapmle tracking the value of unchosen options. As a New Map of Life fellow, Natalie combines behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, computational modeling, and biomarker analysis to study how age-related changes in memory are reflected in decision-making patterns.
