Short Biography

Greg Appelbaum is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego and Research Director of the UCSD Interventional Psychiatry Program. He received a B.A in Psychology from Emory University in 1995, and a Masters and Ph.D. from the Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, Irvine in 2002 and 2004, respectively. 

Professor Appelbaum’s research is focused on understanding the psychological and neural mechanisms that support human cognition and understanding how these change with experience, rehabilitation, and training. This research utilizes behavioral psychometrics and multiple complimentary human neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, EEG, fNIRS) and neurostimulation (e.g. TMS, ECT) techniques to understand the the processes and mechanisms enabling perception, attention, memory, emotion, and motor control. As a faculty, his research has been continually funded by grant awards from DARPA, NIH, and the Army Research Office, leading to over 110 published articles and book sections.  

Dr. Appelbaum mentors a wide assortment of junior faculty, research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, PhD students from the UCSD Neuroscience Graduate program and the UCSD/SDSU Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, research coordinators, and undergraduate students.  He was awarded the 2023 UCSD, Graduate and Professional Student Association, Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award.
