Dr. David Schnyer

Biography

David Schnyer is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Arizona. His research focuses on Cognitive Neuroscience, particularly examining how neural structures and computational algorithms contribute to non-declarative memory, associative memory, metamemory, and attention/cognitive control. His studies employ a range of methodological tools, including lesion studies and neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and MEG/EEG. Schnyer's lab explores the neurobiological basis of attention control as it relates to mental illness and changes in sleep patterns following traumatic brain injury. He has also contributed to the development of therapeutic techniques aimed at addressing attention dysfunction observed in psychological and neurological disorders.
