Mike Nelson

Mike Nelson is an Associate Professor at Gonzaga University, affiliated with the Departments of Psychology and Neuroscience. His academic roles focus on experimental psychology, neurocognitive research, and computational modeling of attentional systems.

Research interests:

• Visual attention mechanisms and selective attention theories
• Eye movement dynamics and oculomotor control
• Probabilistic modeling of neural information processing
• Meta-analytic methodologies in neuroscience
• Applications in cognitive psychology and neurobiological disorders

His scholarly output reveals a trajectory from foundational neuroimaging studies (1998) to contemporary debates in attention theory (2012) and PTSD neurobiology (2017). Key publications demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining cognitive science, neuroimaging, and mathematical modeling to investigate attentional capacity and brain structure-function relationships.
