Yumnah defended her honors thesis titled "White Noise Intensity Shapes Defensive Behavior and Neural Activation" to her committee and a group of excited supporters this morning. She passed her defense with grace and determination. Yumnah intends complete written revisions in preparation for publication of her work. We are hopeful her research will provide meaningful insight into a gap in the research with regards to white noise salience and its neurological and behavioral influences in fear learning.
