Adam Chris Martin (Cognitive Area) earned his Ph.D. in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Western Ontario in 2015, and subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of human memory. Specifically, he investigates long-term memory, with the goal of developing a deeper understanding of its cognitive and neural bases, how it relates to other aspects of cognition (e.g., perception, decision making, motor control), how it changes across the lifespan, and how it can be enhanced to promote graceful aging. He uses fMRI, ERPs, motion tracking, virtual reality, and cognitive behavioral experiments to answer relevant questions in healthy and clinical populations.
