Brian D Gonsalves is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at California State University, East Bay. He holds a faculty position with office SCI S232 and can be reached at brian.gonsalves@csueastbay.edu. His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, particularly memory processes, electrophysiological methods, and the neural mechanisms underlying memory formation and retrieval. His work often employs fMRI and ERP techniques to explore topics such as relational memory, false memories, and the impact of emotion on memory.
His research interests span cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and political cognition. Notable projects include investigating how voters recall political events that never occurred using ERP analysis, and studying neural events that predict memory intrusions from prior trials. Dr. Gonsalves also explores the role of hippocampal networks in learning and strategic behavior through fMRI studies.
While no awards or grants are explicitly listed, his publications reflect a strong focus on memory systems, with contributions to understanding false memories, contextual learning, and neural adaptation in object representation. His work bridges clinical insights (e.g., studies with amnesic patients) and theoretical cognitive science.
