Tom Schweizer, PhD
Research Focus
My area of interest is in Cognitive Neuroscience and Behavioural and Cognitive Neurology/Neurosurgery. My research program is directed at understanding the architecture and neural bases for human cognitive and real-world functioning using experimental cognitive paradigms, neuroimaging and neuropsychology. A clear understanding of the neurocognitive systems and their breakdown after brain damage is essential in educating physicians, patients and families and critical in designing various treatment strategies. We have recently placed a driving simulator in a functional MRI environment allowing us to observe the brain areas critical for driving performance. We are also currently working on creating a cognitive localization map of the human cerebellum and identifying the neurocognitive and functional consequences of brain aneurysms.
