Curriculum Vitae

  • Profile
    Dr. Allan Collins is a modeling based cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on the behavioral and neurological underpinnings involved in visual category learning. I have expertise in various behavioral reaction-time models from understanding the visual system: Systems Factorial Technology and General Recognition Theory, to decision-making systems: Drift Diffusion Model and Linear Ballistic Accumulator. While also having experience in the recording and analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) data. My current research plan is to learn under Dr. Cindy Bukach as her Postdoctoral fellow to continue exploration within the category learning domain among other areas within the laboratory.
