Congratulations to Briana Kennedy who won the award for ‘Best Presentation’ at the 2012 Sydney Postgraduate Psychology Conference. Briana’s presentation on ‘Early perceptual disruption from emotional distractors: An emotion-induced blindness study using ERPs’ was the best of around 60 high-caliber presentations from Sydney PhD students. This award was judged by academics from Sydney University, UNSW and Macquarie and is a fantastic achievement. Briana is currently completing her PhD under the supervision of Dr Steve Most.
