Dmitri Poltavski

Dmitri Poltavski is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Dakota, specializing in visual neuroscience, psychophysiology, and concussion diagnostics. He directs research on oculomotor deficits, sports vision training, and neurophysiological assessment in high-stress environments.

His research integrates:

• EEG and fNIRS biomarkers for concussion history and executive function deficits
• tDCS applications in visual rehabilitation and training enhancement
• Visual processing assessments in sports performance and aviation
• Neuroergonomic evaluation of operator workload in air traffic control

Dr. Poltavski's publications demonstrate innovation in developing electrophysiological metrics for cognitive state assessment, with applications in sports medicine, aviation psychology, and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Recent work establishes EEG theta-gamma ratios as sensitive concussion biomarkers and validates sports vision training protocols using neurophysiological monitoring.

He maintains active collaborations examining chronic care management models and neuropsychological outcomes in trauma-exposed populations. Laboratory investigations incorporate eye-tracking, EEG, and tDCS methodologies to examine visual-cognitive interactions.
