Dr. Erin Bigler is Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at Brigham Young University, where he was the distinguished Susa Young Gates Chair and Director of BYU’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research Facility. He currently serves as a Volunteer Clinical Professor of Neurology at the University of California at Davis and Adjunct Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Utah, where he continues with his research at the TBI and Concussion Center. Over the course of his career, a primary focus of Dr. Bigler’s research has been how best to integrate neuroimaging and neuropsychology in the developing, aging, or damaged brain. He is the author of over 300 peer-reviewed articles in scholarly journals and six textbooks, including the seminal Oxford University Press text, Neuropsychological Assessment. For the last decade, he has focused specifically on approaches to neuroimaging, neurobehavioral and neurocognitive assessments among individuals with a history of mild TBI.
