Biography

Gregory Cogan's research focuses on the intricate relationships between speech, language, cognition, and neuronal activity. Utilizing a variety of analytic techniques, including neural power analysis, connectivity measures, and decoding algorithms, his studies primarily investigate invasive human recordings through electrocorticography (ECoG) as well as non-invasive methods such as EEG, MEG, and fMRI. Cogan is particularly dedicated to understanding cognitive systems within the context of disease models, with the aim of aiding recovery through targeted treatment programs. His work is pivotal in deepening our understanding of how neuronal processes underpin critical cognitive functions, enhancing our knowledge of language processing and sensory-motor integration, thereby contributing significantly to the fields of neurology and cognitive neuroscience.
