Jacqueline Snow

Jacqueline Snow is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, within the College of Science. She leads a research laboratory focusing on object perception, attention, and neuropsychology, using techniques like fMRI and psychophysical studies. Her work examines how humans recognize and interact with real-world objects, integrating sensory modalities such as vision and touch.

Education: B.A. (1995) and B.S. with honors (1997) from Monash University, Australia; Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology (2006) from the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Research interests include object perception in clinical populations, fMRI methodology, and the neural basis of attention. Her lab studies how neural structures encode action-relevant information about tools and 3-D objects, supported by a pilot grant from COBRE. She teaches courses on research methods, clinical neuropsychology, and fMRI techniques.

Her work bridges cognitive neuroscience and clinical research, with a focus on patients with parietal and ventral lesions to understand perceptual and motor deficits. She has advised doctoral students and undergraduate trainees in her lab, emphasizing real-world object studies and interdisciplinary approaches.
