Monica Fabiani is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. Her research primarily focuses on cognitive neuroscience, particularly human memory, aging, and the development of non-invasive techniques for mapping human brain function. She employs a typical cognitive neuroscience approach that integrates multiple data domains, including behavioral responses, neuropsychological tests, and brain anatomy. Her work involves the use of advanced methodologies such as event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as well as optical imaging techniques such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Fabiani explores the cerebrovascular contributions to cognitive aging and is actively developing new optical brain imaging methods which complement traditional techniques. Additionally, she investigates the neurophysiological and psychological bases of cognitive control and attention, especially in the context of aging and individual differences. Her notable research lines include studies on sensory working memory and the effects of alcohol on executive function.
