About
Erin W. Dickie is a leading researcher in cognitive and computational neuroscience, with a focus on how the brain learns and controls skilled movements, and how these processes are disrupted in psychiatric disorders. Her early landmark work, published in 2006 and cited over 67 times, revealed that proactive interference in motor learning stems from persisting neural representations in the primary motor cortex, demonstrating that learning a first motor skill can actively interfere with acquiring a second. This foundational insight has shaped our understanding of motor memory consolidation and interference. More recently, Dickie has made significant contributions to the neuroimaging of mental illness, particularly in understanding brain network dysfunction in schizophrenia and depression. Her work leverages advanced MRI techniques to map how individual differences in brain structure and connectivity relate to cognitive control and treatment outcomes. With a career spanning over 15 years, her research has been cited extensively, influencing both basic motor learning theory and clinical applications in psychiatry. She is also recognized for her commitment to open science and reproducible research practices.
