Neuroscience Lecture Series

The Neuroscience Program and Club presents a series of lectures every spring and fall semester, exploring current neuroscience research, applications and career opportunities. Weber State faculty also offer workshops on graduate school preparation. Lectures are free and open to all.

The Neuroscience Lecture Series is held in partnership with the College of Social Sciences & Education, the College of Science and the Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions.

Fall 2025 Neuroscience Lecture Series

Nov. 24 at 3 p.m.
Lindquist Hall 216 or via

Dr. Aminda O'Hare will present "The Dual-Anxiety Dance: Investigations of Neural and Cognitive Correlates and Ways to Intervene"

In this talk, I will go over a body of research from my lab that has investigated the unique neural and cognitive correlates of different types of trait anxiety, particularly anxious apprehension and anxious arousal. This research has spanned many labs from many different universities across my career. I will move from more basic science research that has probed attentional biases associated with these types of anxiety to more applied mindfulness-based interventions that are particularly effective for reducing anxious apprehension and related constructs.
