Timothy Rogers

Timothy Rogers is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin. His research focuses on the intersection of semantic cognition, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, he operates the Rogers Lab at the Discovery Building (330 N. Orchard Street), utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques like 7T-fMRI to decode semantic representations in the brain.

• Education: BA in Psychology and English Literature (University of Waterloo), PhD in Psychology (Carnegie Mellon University)

His work explores semantic control mechanisms, neural coding of concepts, and human-machine collaboration in creative tasks. Recent projects investigate LLM alignment with human judgment, context inference, and representational motifs in perception.

Research trends show integration of multivariate decoding, sparse modeling, and collective intelligence to analyze semantic organization in cognition and neural systems. His lab applies these methods to problems in health AI, educational technology, and neurodegenerative disorders.
