As a cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Derek Fisher uses electroencephalogram (EEG) tests to study the electrical activity of the brain. His research is focused on two primary areas of research: how brain function changes in the context of mental illness and neurological illness, and how common drugs change brain activity.

All seminars will be held on Zoom.
