Dr. Shane Edward Ehrhardt is a cognitive neuroscientist at the School of Psychology, The University of Queensland, specializing in brain stimulation and cognitive enhancement. His research integrates transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), neuroimaging, and neurochemical analysis to investigate learning generalization and decision-making mechanisms. Education: PhD in Psychology, The University of Queensland (2023) Dr. Ehrhardt's research centers on cognitive neuroscience with emphasis on neuromodulation techniques and individual differences . His work examines how prefrontal cortex stimulation interacts with neurochemical profiles (GABA/glutamate) and cortical morphology to influence cognitive training transfer. Key methodologies include multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI, MRS, DTI), computational modeling of decision processes, and rigorous behavioral paradigms assessing multitasking and learning generalization. Analysis of his 12 publications (2019-2025) reveals consistent focus on tDCS parameter optimization , neurochemical predictors of response , and structural brain correlates of cognitive enhancement. His work demonstrates that individual differences in cortical morphology and neurochemistry critically determine stimulation efficacy, with significant implications for personalized cognitive interventions. Dr. Ehrhardt actively collaborates within UQ's cognitive neuroscience group, particularly with Professor Paul Dux and Dr. Hannah Filmer, utilizing shared resources including 3T MRI facilities and specialized neurostimulation laboratories. His research program integrates computational modeling with multimodal neuroimaging to develop mechanistic accounts of cognitive enhancement.
