Constanza (Cony) M. Vidal Bustamante

Cony is a Ph.D. student in the Cognition, Brain and Behavior program of the Psychology Department. She grew up in Chile, and moved to the United States to complete her undergraduate studies at Harvard College, where she received a B.A. in Psychology. She subsequently worked in Leah Somerville’s lab as research manager for the Human Connectome Project in Development, a large-scale multimodal brain study aiming to chart age-related changes in neural network properties in children, adolescents, and adults. Cony is interested in the extensive longitudinal assessment of brain circuitry in the individual, as well as in its relationship to fluctuations in real-world behaviors (e.g. sleep, social activity), affective experiences (e.g. mood, stress), and mental and physical health outcomes.
