Shyam Shah

Postdoc

I am a neuroscientist with training in biomedical engineering and systems neuroscience. My PhD research focused on understanding how brain–body interactions shape cognition and behavior by integrating neurophysiology, computational analysis, and cognitive neuroscience approaches. My previous work examined neural dynamics underlying executive function and autonomic regulation using multimodal physiological and neuroimaging methods. After my doctoral research at Indiana University, I collaborated with researchers at the IU School of Medicine and the IU Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences.

At IU, I work in the Mnemology Lab studying the neural mechanisms supporting human memory and cognition. My interests include large-scale brain networks, physiological signals underlying cognition, and the use of computational approaches to better understand episodic and semantic memory.
