معرفی
Dr. Stefan Köhler is a Professor and Department Chair of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience at Western University's Department of Psychology. He also serves as a Principle Investigator at the Western Institute for Neuroscience and holds affiliations with the Rotman Research Institute and Rotman Institute of Philosophy. His research focuses on the neural and cognitive mechanisms of human memory, particularly in aging, neurological, and psychiatric disorders.
Dr. Köhler holds a Diplom (MSc) from the University of Bielefeld and a PhD from the University of Toronto (1995). He completed postdoctoral training at the Montreal Neurological Institute under Dr. Brenda Milner. His work employs techniques like fMRI, TMS, and behavioral experiments to study memory impairments and their neural substrates.
Research Interests: The lab explores episodic memory's functional and anatomical organization, including interactions between memory systems and visual processing, neural correlates of novelty detection, and hippocampal contributions to pattern separation. Key themes include how brain regions differentiate memory types and support perceptual discrimination.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Western Institute for Neuroscience and collaborates with the Rotman Research Institute. His lab integrates clinical neuroscience with advanced neuroimaging methods.
Grants/Advising: Not explicitly listed, but his extensive publication record suggests sustained funding for studies on memory disorders and neuroimaging techniques. Advises graduate students in neuroscience and psychology programs.
