Christiana Faucher (she/her/hers)
Graduate Student
Christiana Faucher is a graduate student in the Clinical Science and Psychopathology Research doctoral program at the University of Minnesota. She previously completed a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Cognitive Neuroscience at Brown University and gained 5 years of experience acting in varying research roles at the Providence VA Health Care System’s RR&D Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology (CfNN). Her research at Brown focused on the effects of risk aversion and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reversal learning, relevant to fear and anxiety disorders. At CfNN, Christiana assisted with clinical research trials exploring novel ways in which non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS, LIFU, tDCS, etc.) and other types of neurotechnology (MRI, EEG, etc.) can be leveraged to augment and or predict treatment outcomes for comorbid psychiatric disorders. Christiana is particularly interested in how EEG methods can be applied to study the mechanisms underlying neuromodulation treatment outcomes
