Victor Finomore Jr. serves as executive director of research operations and data analytics at the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and assistant professor in the department of neuroscience and an adjunct professor in the WVU Department of Chemical, Biomedical Engineering at the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.

He received his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of Cincinnati in 2008. Before coming to West Virginia University, he served as Technical Advisor for the Warfighter Effectiveness Research Center at the United States Air Force Academy where he led a group of scientist and engineers along with cadets to carry out cutting-edge research focused on improving human performance through development of multimodal displays, neuroergonomics, human-machine teaming, and advanced technology integration for Battlefield Airmen, Command and Control, and Cyber Operators.

His role at the RNI is to ensure seamless integration of resources to foster innovative research and development across the clinical and applied research enterprise.

Research Program

Human Performance
Physiological Measurement and Assessment
Cognitive Neuroscience

As the director of the Human Performance and Applied Neuroscience (HPAN) research center Dr. Finomore is focused on cutting-edge research related to real-time neurophysiological assessment of cognitive processes across diverse populations (Athletes, Military, Patients and the general Population termed AMP²) to implement individualize augmentation for optimized brain health, human performance, recovery, and resilience. The integration of state-of-the-art sensors and experimental procedures with machine learning based analytics provide greater insight into specific brain mechanism and the selection of augmentations specifically for individuals across AMP². The HPAN carries out basis and applied research efforts in laboratory setting as well as “in the wild”. Cognitive testing is focused on measurements of information processing such as workload, stress, fatigue, attention, and decision-making. As well as multisensory integration and perceptual-motor tasks.
