Matthew L. Stanley
I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2014 with a B.S. in psychology and a B.A. in philosophy. Now, I am a PhD student in Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University who entered through the Cognitive Neuroscience Admitting Program (CNAP). I work with Roberto Cabeza, Felipe De Brigard, Elizabeth Marsh, and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong to answer questions involving memory, morality, knowledge, and reasoning by incorporating neural, computational, behavioral, and philosophical perspectives.
