Erika Nyhus Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience Bowdoin College Biography Publications Institution JoVE Articles Erika Nyhus Erika Nyhus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience, Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, a Ph.D from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and completed postdoctoral training at Brown University.Dr. Nyhus’ expertise in studying memory processes with electroencephalography (EEG) began as an undergraduate when she was a research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Knight. Her doctoral research with Dr. Tim Curran combined behavioral measures and EEGs and her postdoctoral research with Dr. David Badre used simultaneous EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to understand the neural processes underlying recognition memory and cognitive control.Dr. Nyhus joined the faculty at Bowdoin College in 2013. Her research program focuses on human executive function and memory using behavioral and EEG methods. Specifically, she is interested in how neural oscillations provide a mechanism for interaction among brain regions during memory retrieval.
