Biography

Dr. Dyer’s research focuses on the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying how humans learn, remember, and perform sequences of behavior. Drawing from behavioral neuroscience, learning and memory, and psychopharmacology, her research examines how biological and individual differences, including mental health symptomatology and psychoactive substance use, affect learning and behavioral performance. Her current work also applies behavioral and EEG methods to investigate physiological and behavioral indicators of learning, interest, engagement, and memory.. In her free time, Dr. Dyer enjoys going to the beach, swimming in the ocean, crafting, and most importantly, being with her dogs.
