Don Vaughn

Don Vaughn, Ph.D., is a neuroscience postdoctoral fellow at UCLA. His research has included functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), perceptual psychophysics, and sensory substitution. Don uses fMRI to research neural correlates of freewill and how social dynamics modulate empathy. In psychophysics, Don investigated how information, before and after an event has occurred, influences perception of the event - an effect dubbed peri-diction. Don now applies multivariate classification and non-parametric statistics to bioinformatics datasets.
