Thackery I. Brown

Thackery I. Brown is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He specializes in Cognitive Neuroscience, focusing on memory systems, spatial navigation, and decision-making processes using neuroimaging techniques like fMRI.

• Education:
• PhD in Psychology: Brain, Behavior, and Cognition from Boston University (2013)
• Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Summa Cum Laude, Boston University (College of Arts and Sciences)

His research explores the neural mechanisms underlying spatial memory and decision-making, with notable contributions to hippocampal function and prospective memory representation. He leads the MAP Lab at Georgia Tech, investigating human medial temporal lobe dynamics through noninvasive imaging.

Recent work includes studies on navigational goal representation and interactions between memory and new learning, published in Science and Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience.
