Corey Plate is an undergraduate student in the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies program. His studies concentrate on psychology, neuroscience and physics, particularly focusing on the relationship between cognition and physiology as it can be informed by underlying physical processes. Currently, he is investigating the way metabolic change can respond to contextual pressures, and potentiate whole-system physiological transformations capable of producing significant changes to preexisting behavioral patterns. He accomplishes this through the use of machine-learning to study real-time changes in behavior that are then correlated with variations in physiology through a combination of repeated serological testing and immunoblotting.
