Career Summary
Biography
My main research interest involves defining the structure and neural substrates of cognitive control processes using multi-disciplinary methodology and applying these methodologies to investigate the development of cognitive control across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in understanding the impact of inter-individual variability in cognitive control on the development of adaptive and maladaptive behavioural patterns and implications for mental health. I am keenly interested in designing educational and clinical interventions that will promote healthy development of cognitive control processes and complex decision-making across the lifespan.
I head a targeted research program that examines the structural and functional organisation of cognitive control processes. This program was developed over the last 10 years and now includes research collaboration with other senior researchers at the University of Newcastle as well as other national and international institutions, supervision of high calibre PhD students and training of many Honours students.

Research expertise
Dr Karayanidis' broad research area is cognitive neuroscience, with a specific focus on the structural and functional organization of cognitive control processes. Her research uses multi-disciplinary techniques to examine the organization of cognitive control processes in healthy controls, the development of these processes across the lifespan and their disruption in clinical conditions such as schizophrenia and ADHD. Dr Karayanidis has extensive expertise with event-related potential (ERP) methodology and considerable experience in paradigm development for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
Dr Karayanidis is currently director of the Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of Newcastle, co-convenor of the Emerging Programs Panel of the Priority Research Panel for Brain and Mental Health Research, psychology representative on the Connectivity and Cognition Executive Panel of the Neuroscience Institute of Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders (NISAD), member of the Management Committee of the Hunter Medical Research Institute Research Volunteer Register and Scientific Member of the Advisory Committee of Parkinson's NSW. Within the School of Psychology, she has research affiliations with the Neuroscience Group (headed by Prof Michie) and the Human Experimental Applied Dynamics (headed by A/Prof Heathcote) and coordinates the Fourth Year Program.
Dr Karayanidis has been co-investigator on a number of NH&MRC project grants (invited AI on NHMRC-PG 940864; CI on NHMRC-PG 209828 and NHMRC-PG 351129). She has established widespread research collaborations with colleagues in the Hunter region in the areas of cognitive control in ADHD, auditory processing and sensory gating in schizophrenia and Parkinson's Disease, integration of RT distribution analyses and ERP averaging, face processing in middle childhood, autism and ADHD, as well as internationally. This research has attracted over $1.0M in NCG and small grant funding over the last 10 years. Dr Karayanidis has supervised the research of more than 30 Honours students (7 Hons I) and 11 post-graduate students (5 awarded) and has had extensive experience in large project supervision and coordination both in her current position and in her overseas post-doctoral fellowship.
Dr Karayanidis has published 23 full papers in peer reviewed international journals (impact factors 1.09-6.78, 12-49 citations for 1st author publications), presented 22 invited papers and 84 conference papers. In 2004, Dr Karayanidis organised and chaired the first symposium on ERP measures of task-switching at the 20th World Congress of Psychophysiology (IOP). In January 2005, she chaired a discussion session on the same topic at the International Conference on Attentional Control in Taiwan. In 2005, Prof Michie and Dr Karayanidis developed a collaborative project to examine ERP and fMRI measures of cognitive control in schizophrenia with co-supervision of two RHD students.
Dr Karayanidis is consulting reviewer on numerous international journals (Psychophysiol, Neurobiol.Aging, Biol.Psychol, Neuropsychol, Austr.J.Psychol, Int.J.Psychophysiol, Lang. Cogn. Processes, Brain Res, Psychon Bull Rev), an assessor for NH&MRC Project Grants (1999+), INTREADER for ARC-DP (2002+) and reviewer for the US National Science Foundation (2006+).
