Tommy Sprague

Thomas (Tommy) Sprague received his BA in Cognitive Sciences from Rice University in Houston, TX in 2010 and his PhD in Neurosciences with a Specialization in Computational Neurosciences from the University of California, San Diego in 2016. His graduate work with John Serences sought to develop and apply novel multivariate analysis methods to human neuroimaging techniques to understand how neural systems represent information in support of dynamic behavioral goals. Prior to joining the faculty at UCSB, Dr. Sprague worked as a postdoctoral fellowship with Clayton Curtis and Wei Ji Ma studying how neural systems represent both the contents of visual working memory, but also their ‘uncertainty’, by building new multivariate analysis methods. In January 2019, Dr. Sprague arrived in Santa Barbara to start his lab.
