Neuropsychology of Vision
Perception & Action Laboratory
Dr. Jonathan Marotta
Lab Director
Dr. Marotta is originally from Southern Ontario and received a BScH in Psychology at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He then went on to earn his MSc and PhD degrees in Neuroscience working with Dr. M.A. Goodale at the University of Western Ontario, in London.
Dr. Marotta was awarded funding by the McDonnell-Pew Program in Cognitive Neuroscience and NSERC to continue his training as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. M. Behrmann’s laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Marotta returned to Canada to take up a CIHR INMHA Senior Research Fellowship position in Dr. J.D. Crawford’s laboratory at the Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University, Toronto, Ontario.
Dr. Marotta is currently a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba and Lab Director of the Perception and Action Lab. His lab provides an excellent context for the integration of multiple cognitive neuroscience approaches – visuomotor control, perception, neuropsychology and neuroimaging. Trainees develop in-demand expertise with 3D-visuomotor paradigms utilizing sophisticated motion tracking systems, and perceptual and neuroimaging design and analysis.
