Tobias Egner is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. He serves as Chair of Psychology and Neuroscience and is affiliated with the Duke Initiative for Science & Society, Center for Brain Imaging and Analysis, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, and Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. Ph.D. and B.S. from University of London Postdoctoral training at Columbia University (2003-2006) and Northwestern University (2006-2009) His research focuses on cognitive control —how internal goals guide behavior—and spans computational modeling, neuroimaging, and neurostimulation studies of task switching , cross-task interference , and cognitive stability/flexibility trade-offs . Recent work investigates domain-specific cognitive flexibility and one-shot stimulus-control learning . Articles reveal neural substrates in prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and parietal regions. Key themes in his 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) include cognitive stability , task-set reactivation , contextual adaptation , and neural dynamics across disciplines like Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, and Computational Modeling. Scientific Honors : Mid Career Award (BACN, 2024), Fellow (APS & Psychonomic Society), Honorary Guest Professor (Southwest University, China) Grants include the Duke-NCCU Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Training Program (2024-2029), Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Control (2023-2028), and Mechanisms of Social Behavior (2016-2026). He teaches courses in cognitive neuroscience and advanced research methods.
