Hello!

My name is Madelyn Sandone, and I am a Senior Research Coordinator at Tufts University’s Center for Applied Brain and Cognitive Science, or CABCS. As a member of a highly interdisciplinary lab, I support research projects across a variety of domains, including cognitive psychology, neuromodulation, augmented and virtual reality, and exercise science.

I manage all aspects of experimental development and execution for a variety of projects, but I spend most of my time utilizing immersive VR systems to improve stress reactivity across emotional, cognitive, and physical domains.

Here’s a photo of me in the Virtual Reality Cave Automated Virtual Environment, where I spend all of my time, but we call it the CAVE, for short.
Hi! The screen behind me is currently set to calibration mode. This is where we test out the accuracy of our lasers and controllers for our studies. I get to play video games at work which is a lot of fun.

Many of the projects I manage and support revolve around stressing folks out and then seeing what happens. If you want to learn more about that work (and everything else I do at CABCS), click here!

“But what about when you’re not in the lab, Madelyn?” I hear you say. Click here to get to know me without the lab coat.

Thank you for exploring my website!
