C. Shawn Green is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research program utilizes both traditional methods (e.g., psychophysics, brain imaging) as well as certain modern forms of media (e.g., video games, virtual reality) to examine factors that influence the rate and generalization of perceptual and cognitive learning. His research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense and has been disseminated in such journals as Nature, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Neuron, Psychological Bulletin, Psychological Science, and Current Biology. Green’s service to psychological science includes serving as an associate editor for both the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement and Technology, Mind, and Behavior. Finally, Green has had a strong focus on sharing science more directly with the general public, including writing a cover article for the pop-science magazine Scientific American and appearing on the Netflix show Bill Nye Saves the World.
