About
Olave E. Krigolson is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research bridges decision-making, learning, and social cognition, with a particular focus on how the brain processes feedback and reward. His work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying feedback monitoring, demonstrating how the brain's error-related and reward signals—captured via EEG—shape learning and adaptive behavior. Notably, his 2020 study, "A win-win situation: Does familiarity with a social robot modulate feedback monitoring and learning?" (4 citations), explores how social context, including interaction with robots, influences feedback processing, revealing that familiarity attenuates neural responses to rewards for others. This work has implications for human-robot interaction and social learning. With over 5,000 citations across his career, Krigolson’s contributions are widely recognized; he has developed innovative mobile EEG methods, making neuroscience accessible in real-world settings, and his findings inform education, clinical interventions, and artificial intelligence. His research continues to illuminate how we learn from outcomes in social and nonsocial environments, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in applied cognitive neuroscience.
