Eddie Ester is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Neuroscience, University of Nevada, Reno, focusing on cognitive neuroscience and working memory mechanisms. His research explores how the brain integrates sensory, mnemonic, and motor information to enable flexible behavior, with applications in understanding individual differences in cognitive efficiency and neurological disorders like Schizophrenia and Parkinson's Disease.
- Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Oregon (2011)
- MS in Psychology, Villanova University (2006)
- BA in Psychology, Nazareth College (2004)
Using EEG and fMRI, Ester investigates the neural representations in occipitoparietal and frontoparietal cortex during working memory tasks. His work emphasizes feature-selective attention, latent memory restoration, and cortical dynamics in human cognition.
Key research trends from his publications include visual working memory encoding, retrospective cueing strategies, and attentional modulation of neural activity. These studies span cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and computational modeling of memory systems.
Ester teaches courses on physiological psychology (PSY 403), integrative neuroscience (PSY 474), and advanced psychophysiology (SY 721), contributing to both undergraduate and graduate education in neuroscience and psychology.
