About
Olav Krigolson is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of decision-making, learning, and human-robot interaction. He is best known for pioneering work on the neural mechanisms of feedback processing, using electroencephalography (EEG) to reveal how the brain evaluates outcomes and guides adaptive behavior. His highly cited 2021 study, "A win-win situation: Does familiarity with a social robot modulate feedback monitoring and learning?" (20 citations), exemplifies his innovative approach—demonstrating that prior familiarity with a social robot enhances neural reward signals and learning efficiency. This work bridges cognitive neuroscience and human-robot interaction, with implications for education and AI design. Krigolson’s broader contributions include developing portable EEG systems for real-world applications, advancing our understanding of error-related negativity and the reward positivity component. His research has garnered over 2,000 total citations, reflecting its impact on fields from psychology to engineering. A prolific mentor and collaborator, Krigolson’s work continues to shape how we understand learning in both human and human-robot contexts.
