Jarrod Lewis-Peacock is an Associate Professor at The University of Texas at Austin, specializing in cognitive psychology. He earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, an M.S. in Computer Science, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His postdoctoral research was conducted at the Department of Psychology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University. Professor Lewis-Peacock's research focuses on the interaction between cognitive control, memory, and goal-directed behavior. His lab employs a combination of neuroimaging and computational techniques, including multivariate pattern analysis of fMRI data and real-time functional neuroimaging, to characterize core features of human cognition. His work has been published in prominent journals, detailing how working memory is influenced by attention, emotional learning impacts memory, and neural plasticity related to individual fingers. Through his innovative approach, he aims to uncover the mechanisms that allow humans to successfully manage cognitive resources and adapt to changing goals in real-time situations.
