Marty G. Woldorff is a Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Neurobiology at Duke University. His primary research interest lies in cognitive neuroscience, focusing on attentional processes. He employs a combination of electrophysiological methods such as Event-Related Potentials (ERP) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG), as well as functional neuroimaging techniques like Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), to investigate the time course and functional neuroanatomy underlying attentional processes. His research encompasses several main lines: the influence of attention on sensory perceptual processing, cognitive attentional control mechanisms, the role of attention in multisensory environments, the interactive relationship between attention and reward, and the impact of attention on perceptual awareness. Throughout his career, Dr. Woldorff has contributed to significant grants and has served in various educational roles including mentoring in summer neuroscience programs and teaching interdisciplinary cognitive neuroscience courses.
