Research Engineer

My name is Danielle Jones and I have been the lab manager and "research engineer" for the C.R.E.A.M. Lab since it began in January 2022. My primary responsibilities include assisting in study design, automating study protocols, EEG system setup and maintenance, programming experimental tasks and research tools, and training and supervising personnel. I earned my AA from Indian River State College, then transferred to Florida State University where I earned my BS in Psychology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology at Florida State University under the mentorship of Dr. Chris Martin and Dr. Christopher Patrick. Outside of work, I'm an avid pool player who is always searching for challenging opponents, a hobbyist fish-keeper who's slowly transforming their office into the first Tallahassee aquarium, and recently the proud new owner of a cute ball python named Dex.

Current Work

Broadly speaking, I’m interested in how psychological constructs related to externalizing (in particular, inhibitory control) manifest within different modalities of measurement (i.e., self-report, behavioral, physiological) and in exploring their nomonological network both between- and within-subject. During graduate school, I hope to continue to grow more comfortable working with different types of data (particularly EEG, fMRI, and EMA) and gain a deeper understanding of advanced statistical techniques and computation models. My ultimate goal is to have a career that centers around rigorous research design and quantitative methods.

Currently, I’m working on developing a study that explores inhibitory control and related constructs using electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral tasks, self-report, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Additionally, I am leading a project that utilizes multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) in the exploration of EEG and behavioral data collected during a flanker task. Beyond these projects, I am involved in other data collections that are happening within the lab.
