Anna Christina Nobre is the Wu Tsai Professor of Psychology at Yale University, with a primary appointment in the Department of Psychology at the Yale School of Medicine. She is also affiliated with the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program, the Wu Tsai Institute, the Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute, and the Yale Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS), reflecting her strong interdisciplinary research profile in cognitive neuroscience.
Her research centers on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of attention, working memory, and long-term memory. She investigates how the brain uses spatiotemporal predictions to guide attention, how attention shapes memory processes, and how these systems interact dynamically. Her work often employs advanced neuroimaging techniques such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional MRI to capture the fast neural dynamics of cognitive control.
The recent publications highlight consistent themes in cognitive neuroscience, particularly in attentional prediction, memory reselection, neural dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease, and metacognitive aspects of memory. Her research spans healthy cognition and clinical populations, with implications for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
While no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text, her publication record in high-impact journals such as Nature Communications, Journal of Neuroscience, and Trends in Cognitive Sciences underscores her significant contributions to the field.
She collaborates with prominent researchers including Dana Small, Todd Constable, and Elizabeth Roessler. Although no formal list of advisees is provided, her leadership in major research programs suggests active mentorship. She is deeply embedded in Yale’s neuroscience ecosystem and continues to lead cutting-edge research at the Wu Tsai Institute.
