Lindsay Oliver

Dr. Lindsay Oliver received her MSc in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology from the University of Edinburgh, her PhD in Neuroscience from Western University, and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). She is a Staff Scientist with the Kimel Family Translational Imaging-Genetics Lab and the Brain Health Imaging Centre at CAMH.

Dr. Oliver’s research examines neural and behavioural correlates of social cognition and functioning in psychiatric, neurological, and non-clinical populations. Her goal is to identify and target biomarkers of social cognitive deficits to inform and evaluate treatment options for those affected by these debilitating symptoms. Much of Dr. Oliver's work has focused on functional brain imaging (fMRI), cognitive, and clinical data across people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and healthy individuals, including dimensional and multivariate analyses of brain-behaviour relationships. She is also involved in research examining transdiagnostic multimodal brain metrics and cognitive abilities across schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, functional connectivity in psychotic depression, as well as treatment response to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and individually targeted brain stimulation for social cognitive impairments in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
