About me

Corson N. Areshenkoff

I am a cognitive neuroscientist with interests in motor control, executive functions, and neuroimaging data analysis. I obtained my PhD at the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queens University, in the Memory, Action, and Perception Lab under Dr. Jason Gallivan. My doctoral research focused largely on fMRI studies of motor learning, and especially on the contributions of cognitive (e.g. frontoparietal, default-mode) brain networks to motor control.

More recently, my interests have expanded to include executive functions more generally, and the ways that subjects learn and represent task structure, and exploit it to augment their performance.
