NeURoscience Perspectives: Steve Petersen, PhD

NeURoscience Perspectives: Steve Petersen, PhD

In this episode of NeURoscience Perspectives with John Foxe, PhD, director of the Del Monte Institute at the University of Rochester, he is joined by Steven Petersen, PhD, Professor of Radiology, Psychological & Brain Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, and Neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis Professor Petersen’s lab uses behavioral, functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and functional connectivity (fcMRI) to study the neural mechanisms underlying attention, language, learning and memory. One area of particular research focus is the development of neural mechanisms underlying reading from ages seven to adulthood with an emphasis on how visual regions in the brain change as people become fluent readers. Another major focus is on identifying and characterizing fMRI and fcMRI signals related to task organization and executive control.
