Episodes 03-04 | Neuroimaging and Neuropsychology, Friends or Foes? - With Dr. Steve Correia (Parts 1 and 2)


Overview

We interviewed Stephen Correia, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, a neuropsychologist with extensive research and clinical training in the use of imaging techniques. In this two-part episode, we cover clinical neuroimaging, with a focus on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.

Steve Correia
Instructor Credentials

Steve earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Rhode Island. He completed his pre-doctoral internship at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville Florida. He then returned to Rhode Island where he completed a clinical neuropsychology fellowship at Brown University under the mentorship of Drs. Paul Malloy and Stephen Salloway at the Butler Hospital Memory and Aging Program. Steve then completed a T32 Research Fellowship in Neuropsychology also in the Memory and Aging Program. Steve is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior in the Alpert Medical School of Brown University. He is the Neuropsychology Section Chief at the Providence VA Medical Center and is the Director of Brown’s Clinical Neuropsychology Specialty Program for Postdoctoral Training. Steve’s research focuses on using diffusion tensor imaging to examine the cognitive and behavioral correlates of white matter integrity in aging, dementia, and other conditions.
