Profiles in "Behavioral Neuroscience" Expertise Area
- Killeen studies behavioral decision theory, statistical inference and information theory.
- Conrad's research interests include studies on the neurobiology of chronic stress, sex differences in neuroplasticity following chronic stress, and links between stress and depression or anxiety disorders.
- Computational models of cognitive and behavioral processes involved in animal learning and motivation.
- Dr. Bimonte-Nelson is an expert in cognitive function as related to aging, menopause, and hormones, with a focus on women's health and sex differences. She directs the Neuroscience of Memory, Menopause, and Aging Laboratory.
- Ringenbach heads the Sensorimotor Development Research Lab, which is currently investigating Assisted Cycle Therapy (ACT) and its effects on motor, cognitive, physical and mental health.
- Dr. Olive 's group is interested in examining how abused drugs affect the brain on a neurobiological level.
- Pavlic (electrical eng., computer sci., & behavioral ecology) uses ecological thinking to enhance design of engineered complex adaptive systems and engineering tools to find new perspectives on biological form and function.
- Zhou's research focuses on the neural basis of hearing, in particular, the tasks related to sound localization and sound identification in multi-talker environments.
- Peter studies the genetic etiologies of disorders of spoken and written language. Her work contributes to the foundations for early identification of children at genetic risk and for proactive interventions.
- Xin Luo's research focuses on the basic mechanisms of pitch perception in acoustic and electric hearing to develop novel sound processing strategies that can enhance speech and music perception for cochlear implant users.
