معرفی
Lindsay Berrigan is an Associate Professor of Psychology at St. Francis Xavier University. Her research focuses on neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, particularly how cognitive processes such as attention, learning, memory, and executive functions are affected in neurological populations including multiple sclerosis (MS), ADHD, and mild traumatic brain injury. She employs electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate physiological mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits. Dr. Berrigan also evaluates cognitive assessment tools and develops improved measures, alongside knowledge translation projects aimed at enhancing healthcare practices. Her work spans comorbidities like anxiety and depression in immune-mediated disorders, and she has contributed to clinical guidelines on concussion management and vaccine compliance strategies.
Her research interests encompass cognitive neuroscience methodologies, neuropsychological assessment innovations, and translational research bridging clinical practice and neuroscientific insights. Notable projects include studies on sex differences in anxiety across chronic illnesses and the application of EEG microstates to understand mood disorders. Dr. Berrigan collaborates across disciplines to address gaps in healthcare delivery, particularly in pediatric and immunological contexts.
Publications highlight her focus on cognitive impairment in MS, ADHD neurobiology, and translational health interventions such as text message reminders for vaccinations. She maintains active involvement in guideline development for concussion management and persistent symptoms, reflecting her commitment to evidence-based clinical practices.
