Faly Golshan

Faly Golshan is a Researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan. Her work focuses on cognitive neuroscience, neurodevelopmental disorders, and the application of mindfulness meditation in managing neurological conditions like migraines and autism spectrum disorder. She leads the Brain Health Lab and has been recognized for her contributions with awards including the EDI Scholarship (2024) and a Teacher-Scholar Fellowship (2022).

Her research interests span neurophysiological mechanisms underlying attentional processing, stress-related disorders, and the impact of environmental factors such as noise pollution. She employs techniques like fMRI, ERP, and EEG to investigate sensory processing in rodent models and human populations. Golshan teaches courses in cognitive and neuropsychology, emphasizing evidence-based practices in mental health.

• Key Research Areas: Migraine neurophysiology, autism spectrum disorder interventions, meditation neuroscience, and neurodevelopmental toxicology.
• Recent Grants: Small Grant for Junior Scientist (2024), supporting clinical trials on neurofeedback mindfulness.

Her publications analyze gender differences in concussion reporting, pandemic stress impacts, and the efficacy of mindfulness-based therapies. She actively collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to translate neuroscientific findings into clinical applications.
