Anthony Sali

Anthony Sali is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Wake Forest University's College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on cognitive control mechanisms, attentional flexibility, and neural substrates of behavior. He explores how attentional systems adapt to environmental demands and how these processes are disrupted in developmental disorders like ADHD.

Key research areas include:

• Neural bases of sustained attention and cognitive readiness
• Strategic adaptation in attentional control
• Impact of reward and reinforcement learning on attention
• Developmental differences in attentional capture

His work employs neuroimaging (fMRI/electrophysiology) and behavioral paradigms to investigate topics like:

• Cognitive flexibility and decision-making
• Allostasis and resilience mechanisms
• Attentional bias in clinical populations

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding attentional dynamics, with 2023-2024 work emphasizing neural plasticity in adaptive attention systems. No major awards or external grants are listed in the provided materials.
