Gabor Csifcsak


Job description

Gabor Csifcsak, MD, PhD, is a professor at the Research Group for Cognitive Neuroscience at the Department of Psychology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. His teaching activities encompass courses in quantitative research methods and cognitive neuroscience/biological psychology. The main focus of his research is the neurobiology of cognitive processes (reinforcement learning, decision-making, attention, cognitive control) both in healthy adults and individuals with psychiatric conditions (major depressive disorder, ADHD, substance use disorder, schizophrenia), using various methods (electroencephalography, non-invasive brain stimulation, pupillometry, neuroimaging).
