Assistant Professor of Movement Science

Member, Michigan Concussion Center
Dr. Eleanna Varangis is an Assistant Professor of Movement Science at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology. I received my PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and was a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University’s Taub Institute before coming to U-M.
My research focuses on utilizing cognitive neuroscience approaches to explore the effects of mTBI and aging on brain function. My background in cognitive neuroscience has inspired many of the methods I use to study these populations, including, but not limited to: cognitive assessment, in-scanner cognitive task performance, linear modeling of changes in task-evoked brain activity, resting state and task-based functional connectivity analysis, and diffusion-weighted imaging analysis.
