David Badre serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences at Brown University and holds a faculty appointment at the Carney Institute for Brain Science.
His research focuses on the neural underpinnings of cognitive control and memory systems, with pioneering work on executive function. Badre investigates how the brain manages complex behaviors including multitasking, willpower regulation, and error correction through clinical case studies and real-world examples. His work explains why cognitive tasks like texting while driving are neurologically challenging and how habitual decision-making pathways influence daily errors.
He leads a dedicated research laboratory at Brown University exploring the translation of thoughts into actions, as synthesized in his authoritative book On Task: How Our Brain Gets Things Done, which bridges laboratory neuroscience with practical applications in everyday cognition.
