Research Interests

Dr. Van Snellenberg’s research is focused on understanding the neurobiology of cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). His lab also study the cognitive neuroscience of working memory, the neuropathophysiology underlying psychotic symptoms, denoising methods for fMRI data, and the development of novel treatment approaches for cognitive deficits. 

Dr. Van Snellenberg was born in Vancouver, Canada, and completed his undergraduate work at Simon Fraser University. He obtained his PhD in Psychology from Columbia University and completed postdoctoral training at Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, specializing in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging approaches to the cognitive neuroscience of working memory and psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. His current research focuses on the development of cutting-edge data analytic approaches for high resolution multiband fMRI data and applying these methods to translational neuroscience studies of patients with psychotic illnesses, and to furthering our understanding of how working memory and related cognitive processes are supported by the human brain.
