Research Associate
Colin Gardner, Ph.D. is a Research Associate at Qualia Life Sciences with doctoral training in Psychology and Vision Neuroscience from the University of Georgia. His academic background spans the full arc of psychological and neuroscientific inquiry, from the mechanics of visual perception to the broader questions of how the brain ages, learns, and can be supported through targeted interventions.
Areas of expertise: vision sciences · neuroscience · cognitive training · nootropics · public health · gerontology
Colin holds a Ph.D. and Master's degree in Psychology with a concentration in Vision Neuroscience, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Neuroscience, all from the University of Georgia. His research has explored how cognitive performance can be measured, trained, and preserved, including work on video game-based cognitive training as a tool for improving brain health outcomes.
At Qualia Life Sciences, he brings that research lens to the science of nootropics and healthy aging, helping translate complex neuroscience into evidence-based content and product development.
