Dr. McAleer is a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Neuroimaging and Connected Technologies (CoNeCT) Lab. Her research investigates the role of theta in the emotion dysregulation seen in individuals with internalizing psychopathologies, such as depression and anxiety disorders. By using individualized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to modulate specific network-based dysfunctions, her work aims to progress the field towards personalized, target-based interventions for mental health disorders. This project builds on her doctoral dissertation project, conducted here at UIC.
