Jill Grose-Fifer is a Neurophysiologist with research interests that center on the use of the EEG to explore sensory and cognitive function in both infants and adults. She began her early career in the field of Vision Science (Ph.D., 1989, University of Aston in Birmingham, U.K.) and concentrated primarily on early sensory development in infants. She has charted basic visual development in various populations, including preterm and fullterm neonates, infants and teenagers. She has also collaborated on projects assessing the effects of nutrition on development. Following a career hiatus spent raising her children she has focused on cognitive processing and in the Event Related Potential lab at City College, worked on several projects using EEG measures to investigate right hemisphere contributions to language, attentional processes and the organization of semantic memory. Currently, in collaboration with biophysicists she is developing new methods for looking at non-linearities of visual processing in event-related potentials (ERPs). These techniques are being used to evaluate the developmental timecourse for face perception with the hopes that they will have clinical utility in the early diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders. She has held research positions at Columbia University, City College, and Brooklyn College. She has also taught Psychology classes as an adjunct at Barnard College and NYU Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) and NYU SCPS in the Liberal Arts division.
