Title: Neurocognitive aging in a noisy brain.

Presenter: Prof. Andrea Protzner

Dr. Andrea Protzner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, a member of

the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education

at the University of Calgary. Her research links cognitive integrity and neural dynamics to

provide a coherent understanding of how cognition emerges from operations in the intact

and impaired brain. She combines learning paradigms, neuropsychological approaches, and

neuroimaging techniques to examine the group average and individually unique effects of

healthy brain aging and major depression.
