During her time in the El-Shamayleh lab (2023–2025), Taylor conducted visual neuroscience experiments, designed experimental paradigms using MWorks, and analyzed behavioral and neural data using Matlab. She joined the PhD program in Neurobiology & Behavior in August 2025, and pursued her first doctoral rotation in the lab.
