Aysha Hamkari graduated from New York University Abu Dhabi in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology specializing in Brain and Cognitive Science. In the past, she has done research on visual working memory and the sensory recruitment hypothesis, exploring its implications for visual detection.
Hamkari is currently the Lab Manager for the Rokers Vision Laboratory and a Junior Research Scientist at the Center for Brain and Health, where her work centers on behavioral and neuroimaging methodologies. She applies experimental designs to investigate theories of perception and cognition. She also serves as the study coordinator for the Center’s brain biobank dataset and contributes to projects exploring visual working memory, temporal integration, and resting-state brain activity.
Hamkari is interested in finding behavioral and neuroimaging markers that can uncover predictive signatures of perceptual and neurological disorders.
