Tony W Wilson, BS, PhD

Dr. Tony W. Wilson completed his Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Minnesota as a NICHD predoctoral trainee, followed by a NIMH-supported postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. After training, Dr. Wilson became the founding director of the Center for Magnetoencephalography (MEG) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), which has grown to be one the most active MEG sites in the world in terms of peer-reviewed publications and federal funding. He is currently a tenured Associate Professor at UNMC, Director of the NIH-funded Cognitive Neuroscience of Development & Aging (CoNDA) Center, Director of UNMC’s MEG and MRI research cores, as well as the dynamic imaging of cognition and neuromodulation (DICoN) laboratory. Dr. Wilson has published over 140 peer-reviewed manuscripts in top journals such as Brain, Biological Psychiatry, Neurology, Cerebral Cortex, Diabetes, NeuroImage, and many others, and currently serves as the PI or MPI on eight R01-equilvalent awards, as well as a P20 supported NIH Center. His research program uses multimodal neuroimaging to investigate the oscillatory neural dynamics that underlie visual processing, attention, and motor control, and how these dynamics predict cognitive performance in real time. Areas of particular interest to the laboratory include typical development across the lifespan, aging and health factors that can accelerate aging (e.g., severe infections such as HIV, drug and/or alcohol abuse, diabetes, etc.), cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s and neuroHIV, and neural connectivity and computation in the healthy brain.
