"Neurocognitive Aging through the Lens of Magnetoencephalography" Presented by Amy Proskovec, Ph.D. Dr. Proskovec received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Behavior from the University of Nebraska, where she was a graduate student within the Center for Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Following, she completed postdoctoral training in Clinical MEG at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She is currently an Assistant Professor and MEG Scientist within the Department of Radiology at UTSW. Her research utilizes MEG and structural MRI to investigate the neural dynamics underlying cognition, within the context of healthy aging. Most recently, her research has expanded into age-related diseases, to characterize the neuropathophysiology underlying cognitive dysfunction in clinical populations including the Alzheimer’s disease continuum and pain conditions.
