Emily BJ Coffey, PhD

Short biography


I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, under the supervision of Prof. Jan Born. I received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 2016 from McGill University (Prof. Robert Zatorre), an M.Sc. (Research) in Brain and Cognitive Science in 2009 from the University of Amsterdam, and a B.Sc. (Honours) in Psychology from the University of Ottawa in 2006. Between 2006 and 2009 I worked as a Human Behaviour and Performance specialist and trainer at the European Space Agency (European Astronaut Centre, Cologne, Germany), and between 2002 and 2005 I worked as a flight and theory instructor on light aircraft at several airports in Ottawa, Canada.

My research interests are in the domains of human performance of complex skills, auditory cognitive neuroscience, sleep-related memory consolidation, cognitive ageing, cognitive workload management, and multimodal neuroimaging. I am currently obtaining experience in functional connectivity, deep learning, and sleep experimental methods. For a link to my full CV, please email me.
