I am a neuroscientist at the University of Victoria where I run the Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience Laboratory, more commonly known as the Krigolson Lab.
In my lab we use an array of neuroimaging technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with computational modelling to study human learning and decision-making. We are also known for our work with mobile neuroscience technologies such as the MUSE EEG headband to study and measure human brain health and performance in the real world. Our work in this area has led to projects with Island Health, BC Mining, professional sports teams, and NASA.
I received my first degree from the University of Victoria in 1997 with a double major in Physics and Physical Education. After that, I taught high school for a few years here in British Columbia, Canada and also in London, England. With a decision to go back to school, I headed to Indiana University where I completed a MSc in Motor Control in 2003 working with Dr. Matthew Heath. My interest in neuroscience became a passion, and I headed back to the University of Victoria where I completed my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience with Dr. Clay Holroyd in 2007.
After completing my PhD, I was a NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia working with Dr. Todd Handy. My PostDoc led to a faculty appointment in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University from 2010 to 2014 after which I came to home to the University of Victoria.
At UVic, I am the Associate Director of the Centre for Biomedical Research and I wear a lot of hats with appointments in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Kinesiology. As noted earlier, I also run my own lab - The Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience Laboratory.
Outside of my day job, I run my own consulting business, Krigolson Consulting and I am also the Chief Science Officer of Suva Technologies, Inc.
