Elizabeth Heinrichs-Graham, PhD, is the Director of the Cognitive and Sensory Imaging (CASI) Laboratory at the Institute for Human Neuroscience, who has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications. Her work utilizes advanced neuroimaging methods such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and structural MRI to identify the dynamics of brain function and dysfunction in children and adults. She has substantial experience in the identification and characterization of oscillatory cortical responses associated with attention, working memory, executive function, auditory processing, and motor control.
Dr. Heinrichs-Graham also has an extensive collaborative history and has provided MEG expertise to various teams examining cognitive processing in patients with various neurological and psychiatric disorders, in addition to a wealth of studies focusing on healthy brain development throughout the lifespan. Her current research focuses on the impact of mild-to-severe hearing loss and the amount and quality of hearing intervention on cognitive and neural development in children and adolescents.
