Sport and Exercise Psychophysiology Laboratory

Director: Dr. Ryan Olson
The Sport and Exercise Psychophysiology Laboratory, directed by Dr. Ryan Olson, conducts research using electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG) to identify neural correlates and biomarkers of disease. Specifically, the lab 1) examines the effects of acute and chronic exercise for improving neurocognitive function and mental health, and 2) investigates neurocognitive deficits and autonomic function in at-risk populations such as individuals with concussion, depression, and anxiety.
