Dr. Vinci-Booher is the principal investigator of the LAND Lab. She received her Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuroscience from Indiana University. Her work focuses on understanding the brain changes associated with learning and using that understanding to establish biological predictors of future learning difficulties and developing effective interventions. In her spare time, she likes to run and keep up with her book club. You might also see her at your local yoga studio or walking around town with her husband.
