معرفی
Robert M. G. Reinhart is an Associate Professor at Boston University in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. His primary appointment is in Psychological & Brain Sciences, with affiliations in multiple centers including the Center for Systems Neuroscience and the Cognitive Neuroimaging Center. Dr. Reinhart directs the Cognitive & Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory, focusing on understanding neural mechanisms of cognition in health and disease through electrophysiology, neuromodulation, and computational modeling. His research addresses aging, Alzheimer’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and schizophrenia, with a focus on developing nonpharmacological therapies. He received his PhD from Vanderbilt University and joined BU in 2016 without postdoctoral training.
Education: PhD in Psychology from Vanderbilt University (2016).
Research Interests: Dr. Reinhart investigates causal neural mechanisms of perception and cognition using electrophysiology, tES/TMS, and computational modeling. Key areas include aging-related cognitive decline, neuropsychiatric disorders, and developing precision neuromodulation protocols. His work bridges fundamental neuroscience with clinical applications, emphasizing translational research.
Publications: His recent work includes breakthroughs in memory enhancement through neural synchronization (Science, 2022), personalized neuromodulation for OCD (Nature Medicine, 2021), and studies on Alzheimer’s disease (PLOS Biology, 2024). These contributions highlight his focus on translating basic science into clinical tools.
