headshot of Brock Kirwan wearing a blue button-down shirt with his arms crossed standing in front of an office building. He is bespectacled has short brown hair and a graying beard which he thinks is handsome though his family have differing opinions on this point. He is standing in the sunshine and looks happy.

I am the Director of the MindCORE Neuroimaging Facility at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m a cognitive neuroscientist who studies memory processes (how and why do you remember what you do?) and decision making (how do you use memories to guide your future actions?). To do this, I use a variety of methods, including fMRI, EEG, and neuropsychological investigations. If you’re interested in learning more, please visit my lab page at kirwanlab.org.

I also speak frequently on memory and the brain. Check out the links above if you’re interested in learning more about memory and aging or about neuroplasticity, particularly in the aging brain.
