معرفی
Arne Ekstrom is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona, with affiliations to the Cognition & Neural Systems program and the Evelyn McKnight Brain Institute. He leads the Human Spatial Cognition Lab, focusing on the neurophysiological basis of human memory, particularly spatial memory and its decline in neurological conditions.
- Employing intracranial EEG, fMRI, and scalp EEG methodologies
- Interdisciplinary collaboration with computer science, geographical science, and linguistics
- Teaching courses in spatial navigation (PSY 404) and neural computation (PSY 506)
Ekstrom’s research integrates spatial cognition with computational modeling, examining hippocampal theta oscillations, cognitive maps, and the interplay between navigation and episodic memory. His lab emphasizes multimodal neurophysiological approaches to decode spatial-temporal context.
Recent publications highlight hippocampal oscillatory mechanisms in spatial coding (2016), adaptive temporal compression in route simulation (2016), and pattern separation in competing environments (2015). These works span neuroscience, cognitive science, and neuroimaging sub-fields.
