Chris Zwilling
Post Doctoral Fellow Email: ude.sionilli@1nilliwz Phone: 217-300-2530 Chris Zwilling is interested in model based cognitive neuroscience which uses cognitive or behavioral models to gain insight into the underlying neural substrate. He is currently interested in models of higher order cognition, including decision making processes and working memory. To accomplish these goals, he employs various statistical […]

The Science Coalition: Brain Injury, Intelligence & Impairment at UIUC
Researchers at the University of Illinois studied survivors of brain injury to map the architecture of intelligence, and whether damage to specific regions of the brain can be mapped to specific post-injury impairments, including measurements of working memory, and visual and spacial reasoning.

NHPR: Breaking Down the Brain
Scientists at the University of Illinois report that they have mapped the physical architecture of the brain with accuracy never before achieved. Their study, published in Brain: A Journal of Neurology is the largest, most comprehensive analysis so far of the brain structures vital to general intelligence –which depends on a remarkably circumscribed neural system […]
Psychology Today: Brain Injury Study Points to Integrative Nature of Intelligence
Intelligence is all about neural teamwork. One of the ongoing challenges in neuroscience is to do equal justice to both functional localization and functional integration in the brain. We know the brain is not equipotential, not every part can do everything, but we also know that individual brain regions rarely do much of interest on […]
HealthDay News: Researchers Map Brain Regions Linked to Intelligence
Study of head injury patients helps identify regions involved in thinking abilities The physical architecture of intelligence in the brain has been mapped by scientists who used brain injury patients to conduct their research. The findings provide new insight about the specific brain structures involved in general intelligence and specific skills such as memory and […]
Illinois News Bureau: Researchers use brain-injury data to map intelligence in the brain
Scientists report that they have mapped the physical architecture of intelligence in the brain. Theirs is one of the largest and most comprehensive analyses so far of the brain structures vital to general intelligence and to specific aspects of intellectual functioning, such as verbal comprehension and working memory. In a video, Aron Barbey discusses his work […]
New Scientist: Did Evolution Allow Religion?
Once we had evolved the necessary brain architecture, we could “do” religion, brain scans indicate. The research shows that, to interpret a god’s intentions and feelings, we rely mainly on the same recently evolved brain regions that divine the feelings and intentions of other people. “We’re interested to find where in the brain belief systems […]
