Alexander A Stevens

Alexander A. Stevens is a Research Assistant Professor at the Advanced Imaging Research Center and holds Assistant Professor roles in Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at Oregon Health & Science University’s School of Medicine. His research focuses on neuroimaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, EEG) to study brain adaptations in sensory and motor systems. Key interests include auditory perception in blindness, sleep-state metabolic effects, and ADHD-related neural mechanisms.

Education: Ph.D. in 1995 from the University of New Hampshire, followed by postdoctoral training at Yale University in diagnostic radiology and child psychiatry.

Research Interests: Stevens explores cross-modal plasticity in sensory deprivation (e.g., blindness), functional connectivity in ADHD, and neuroimaging applications like simultaneous EEG-fMRI. His work bridges clinical neuroscience and developmental studies, emphasizing translational research.

Articles: Recent studies address cross-species visual cortex changes in blindness and brain metabolic responses to sleep states. Earlier work includes auditory cortex plasticity in the blind and ADHD-related neural network modulation.

Awards/Grants: No awards explicitly listed, but extensive NIH/NIMH-funded postdoctoral training indicates grant activity.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Advanced Imaging Research Center, collaborating on neuroimaging methodologies and clinical applications.
