Biography

Brian Levine is a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute and a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto. His work as a clinical neuropsychologist involves exploring the functions and dysfunctions of large-scale neural systems as they relate to complex human behaviours, particularly focusing on episodic and autobiographical memory, executive functioning, and neuropsychology. Levine studies the syndromes observed in patients with traumatic brain injury, focal brain lesions due to strokes or tumors, dementia, and psychiatric disorders, as well as healthy younger and older adults. His research aims to develop empirically supported measures of naturalistic mnemonic and executive processes, employing innovative assessment techniques alongside multimodal neuroimaging methods such as structural and functional MRI, EEG, and MEG. He is dedicated to bridging empirical findings with clinical practice, ensuring that his research has real-world applications for the assessment and treatment of cognitive dysfunction.
