Biography

Syanah Wynn completed her PhD in cognitive neuroscience in 2020 at the Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Her main focus was the role of theta oscillations in memory-related processes. She continued working on this topic during her time at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, US. Here she was a postdoctoral researcher advised by Erika Nyhus. In 2022 she joined Ole Jensen’s group as a postdoctoral researcher. Her current work focuses on the neural decoding of object recognition.
