About me
Dr. Colgan is a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in behavioral neuroscience, neuropsychology, and mind-body medicine in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health and Science University. She directs the OHSU’s Cognitive Testing and Intracranial Brain Mapping program, a multidisciplinary collaboration between the departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Anaesthesiology and Preoperative Medicine, and Pediatrics. Her research employs broadband intercranial EEG data in conjunction with cognitive testing to assess functional localization of cognitive process. A secondary line of research aims to identify modifiable preoperative predictors of post neurosurgical outcomes. Finally, a third line of research employs quantitative and qualitative approaches to investigate mechanisms of nonpharmaceutical interventions that may shape adaptive responses to pain and stress in neurological disease and develop, optimize, and evaluate treatment outcomes of interventions for neurological populations.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
