Helene M. Sisti

Dr. Sisti is a contributing author to the Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience, Human Brain Mapping, and Learning & Memory, among others. Her area of expertise is learning and neuroplasticity - a topic she has investigated using cellular models and human brain imaging. Before joining the Norwich Faculty, she held teaching appointments at Rutgers University and Villanova University, where she taught Statistics, Motor Learning, and Biopsychology. She has served as a reviewer for several scholarly journals, including Neurorehabilitation and Repair, PLoS ONE, and Attention, Perception & Psychophysics; she has also served as guest Executive Editor of theJournal of Motor Behavior.

Between 2013 and 2015, she was a management consultant at Gap International. As a member of their Genius Institute, her team investigated how language impacts action using the company’s Breakthrough Methodology.® She facilitated leadership conferences throughout the US, as well as in Australia and Dubai.

In 2023, she founded, RISEN: Research In Sport, Education and Neuroscience. The mission is to protect brain health by improving the screening of concussions. Her multimodal approach uses the latest neurotechnology to provide insight into this ‘invisible injury.’
