Geoffrey F. Woodman, PhD

I am a cognitive neuroscientist studying how the human brain can selectively process and store information. My research uses a variety of methods. Electrophysiological recordings of the electroencephalogram (or EEG), event-related potentials (or ERPs), single- and multi-unit activity, local-field potentials, behavioral responses including eye tracking, computational modeling, and brain stimulation. Our goal is to understand how the brains of human and nonhuman primates implement attentional filtering of perceptual inputs, storage in temporary and long-term memory, and cognitive control.

I serve as a Professor at Vanderbilt University in the Psychology Department and the Neuroscience program. In 2021, I was named the E. Bronson Ingram Chair of Neuroscience. I am a member of the Vanderbilt Vision Research Center and Director of the VVRC T32 from the National Eye Institute (NEI).
