Jesse Rissman

Jesse Rissman is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on the interplay between goal-directed attention and memory across short and long timescales.

• Primary Area: Cognitive Psychology
• Secondary Area: Behavioral Neuroscience

He employs advanced fMRI techniques to analyze neural systems in human memory, emphasizing dynamic brain region interactions and distributed activity patterns. His work includes studying value-directed memory encoding, virtual reality applications in memory retention, and the neural basis of episodic retrieval.

Recent publications highlight methodologies like behavioral representational similarity analysis, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and multivoxel pattern classification. These studies explore memory differentiation, brain network modularity, and hippocampal roles in associative retrieval.
