Rober Boshra, Ph.D.

Associate Research Scholar

Biography

Rober Boshra is an Associate Research Scholar at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton University. His research focuses on understanding the inner workings of brain function through intracranial electrophysiology, causal manipulations, and advanced computational methods. Additionally, Rober investigates the pathological effects of brain injury on cognitive function in clinical populations, leveraging scalp electrophysiology and event-related potentials combined with data-driven machine learning approaches.
