Dr. Scott Hayes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at The Ohio State University, specializing in Clinical Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. He directs the Buckeye Brain Aging Lab (B-BAL) and collaborates with the OSU Center for Brain Health and Performance. His research focuses on neuroimaging techniques to study the effects of physical activity, fitness, and aging on brain structure and function, particularly in memory-related disorders.
Education: PhD in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology) from the University of Arizona (2006), MA (2002), and BA (1998) with dual honors in Biology and Psychology from Skidmore College. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at Duke University and VA Boston Healthcare System.
Research interests include cognitive neuroscience of memory, neural correlates of aging, and applying advanced MRI methods to clinical populations. His work highlights how cardiorespiratory fitness impacts brain health and cognitive decline.
Awards include the 2024 Distinguished Teaching Award, Spivack Emerging Leader (2017), and multiple NIH-funded grants. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on topics like Alzheimer’s biomarkers, PTSD-related cognitive deficits, and exercise interventions.
Labs/Teams: Director of B-BAL, affiliated with OSU Jameson Crane Center for Sports Medicine Institute. Current projects explore brain fitness interventions and resilience in aging populations.
