Edwin Robertson

Edwin Robertson is a Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology & Neuroscience. He holds editorial roles at Current Biology and has over $2.5M in research funding, including early-career NIH grants. His work focuses on offline memory processing mechanisms, interactions between knowledge systems, and sleep's role in memory consolidation.

Education:

• Medical degree and PhD from University of Oxford
• Undergraduate degree from University of Cambridge

Research Interests:

• Neural mechanisms of memory consolidation
• Role of sleep and wake states in memory systems
• Interactions between declarative and procedural memory
• Effects of brain stimulation (TMS) on learning

His lab uses behavioral testing, neuroimaging, and brain stimulation to investigate how memories evolve over time.

Grants:

• Air Force Office of Scientific Research (2023-2026): Investigating stimulation-induced brain plasticity
• Leverhulme Trust (2021-2024): Sleep and exercise effects on learning

Collaborations: Works with teams in Switzerland, Canada, and the US on studies involving prefrontal-cortical interactions and high-intensity exercise impacts.
