Author Roma Konecky, PhD

Roma received her B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, where she studied the role of the prefrontal cortex in cognitive control and its dysfunction in schizophrenic patients by examining changes in EEG (gamma band activity) and ERP signals in the brain. She also studied the interaction between the prefrontal cortex and amygdala BOLD responses and their correlation with pupil dilation in depressed and healthy controls while processing emotional information. She earned her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, where she studied the role of the prefrontal cortex and multi-item working memory in non-human primates using both single-unit and LFP neurophysiological techniques. As a postdoc, she examined fronto-temporal-parietal interactions during visual categorization by employing both intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) & magnetoencephalography (MEG) methodologies in humans. She tested the limits of visual cortical prosthetics in a non-human primate prosthetics model by employing novel means of evaluating and testing the efficacy of patterned microstimulation. She also studied the mechanisms of predictive shifts of receptive field structure that govern neuronal response properties using extracellular recording methods in the frontal eye fields of awake behaving rhesus macaque monkeys.
