Lab co-director, Allison Sekuler; postdoc, Alexa Roggeveen; and graduate students, Jesse Husk, Chris Fiacconi, Yaro Konar, Ryan Kealey, and Katrin Kliegl were featured in the video, which can be viewed on the IEC website. Sekuler sums up what “Hamilton: Education City” means: “You’ve got people from all walks of life, and all stages of life, who are constantly striving to learn more, … that’s what we have in Hamilton, and that’s what makes it such an exciting place.” Special thanks to Chris who volunteered to be the EEG guinea pig whom we poked and prodded for visual effect.
