John D Medaglia

John Medaglia, PhD, is the head of the Cognitive Neuroengineering & Wellbeing (CogNeW) Laboratory. His group applies models and methods developed in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and network science to optimize brain function in healthy and clinical samples. His research group studies control and the human brain – how people control themselves and how control theory can guide noninvasive brain interventions. The laboratory uses network-based approaches in neuroimaging (MRI, fNIRS, EEG), brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS), and behavioral assessment (neuropsychology, cognitive psychology) to meet these goals. Lab members additionally study neuroethical decision making. Dr. Medaglia receives support from the NIH and donors to support his research, and his students have received independent funding to support their projects.
