Bryson Rorie

Bryson Rorie is a Neuroscience PhD student at Boston University from Atlanta, Georgia. Bryson graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2022 with a B.A. in Neuroscience and a minor in African American Diaspora Studies. Bryson has long been interested in research related to brain imaging techniques and neurological disorders, and has long-term goals of minimizing public health disparities, especially those related to dementia, aging, and brain health. At CBR, Bryson works on neuroimaging projects that combine fMRI and cognitive localizer tasks to perform whole brain analyses of task-based activity in chronic aphasia patients and healthy controls that characterize neural mechanisms of cognitive processes like language comprehension. Bryson enjoys exploring Boston and continuing to learn about its different cultures and attractions. In his free time, he likes to try new food, play basketball, and watch sports/anime/movies.
