Nancy Carlisle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Lehigh University, where she serves as Director of Graduate Studies. Her research focuses on the top-down control of visual attention and working memory, utilizing behavioral, eyetracking, computational modeling, and electrophysiological techniques.
- Ph.D. in Psychology, Vanderbilt University, 2011
- B.S. in Zoology (Animal Behavior and Neurobiology), Michigan State University, 2005

Carlisle's work investigates how attentional control templates in visual working memory guide perception by biasing selection toward goal-relevant information. She explores the interplay between working memory and attention, including how these systems suppress distractions and enhance guidance. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and computational modeling.
Her recent publications (2024-2022) highlight trends in attentional suppression mechanisms, EEG-based cognitive control studies, and neuroimaging applications in psychiatry (e.g., depression, autism, dementia). Collaborations with institutions like Vanderbilt, UC Davis, and University of Iceland reflect her transdisciplinary impact.
As Director of Graduate Studies, she mentors graduate trainees and undergraduates in her CAM Lab, which focuses on attention-memory interactions. The lab employs behavioral, EEG, and eyetracking methods to study neural dynamics.
