Andrea A. Chiba is currently a Professor with the Department of Cognitive Science and in the Program of Neuroscience at the University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA. Her laboratory, Chiba Laboratory, is focused on gaining an understanding of the neural systems and principles underlying aspects of learning, memory, affect, and attention, with an emphasis on neural plasticity. Her laboratory team is highly interdisciplinary, using a variety of neurobiological, neurochemical, neurophysiology, computational, robotic, and behavioral techniques. She has been active in the U.S. Brain Initiative. She is also the Co-Director and the Founding Science Director of the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center, an NSF Science of Learning Center at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Chiba and her team were awarded an NSF BRAIN Initiative Award for their work on the neural basis of prosociality and interoception.
