Negin Motamed Yeganeh PhD

Negin Motamed Yeganeh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. She completed her Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Tehran, Iran. During her Ph.D. program, she worked with Dr. Rachel Weber and Dr. Lara Boyd on the Arrowsmith Brain imaging study at the University of British Columbia. The goal of this research was to improve the understanding of learning disabilities and develop better educational interventions for children. After earning her Ph.D., Negin returned to UBC to continue her work in the field of learning disabilities and neuropsychological assessments. For her postdoctoral research, she is investigating whether opera training can sculpt the brain to enhance learning. She is working with a team of interdisciplinary experts at UBC to determine if intensive language practice through opera can result in changes in brain structure and function that improve learning, memory, and executive function. This work will further the knowledge in the field of music and language psychology.
