Research Interests

Dr. Wylie's research includes cognitive control across both healthy populations, including younger and older adults, and clinical groups such as individuals with multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury. His work on cognitive fatigue focuses on identifying its neural correlates in people with MS, TBI, and veterans with Gulf War Illness.

He also examines the neurophysiological effects of cognitive interventions, investigating how activities such as exercise and memory-training programs change brain function. To conduct this work, he uses a range of cognitive neuroscience methods, including functional MRI, event-related potentials, functional near-infrared spectroscopy, positron emission tomography, and detailed behavioral measures.
