Patricia (Patti) Davies received her PhD in neuroscience and developmental psychology from the University of Wyoming, USA. Dr. Davies is currently a Professor in the Departments of Occupational Therapy and Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences. She is also the Director of the Brainwaves Research Laboratory at Colorado State University.

Prior to obtaining her PhD, she was an occupational therapist providing occupational therapy services in various pediatric settings, including public schools, preschools, residential schools, and hospitals.  Her research focuses on the development of cognitive and sensory processing abilities in the human brain using electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs).  She investigates both normal development and development in individuals with disabilities such as sensory processing disorders, autism, and ADHD. While visiting Aalborg University she will be working with Dr. Sabata Gervasio and Dr. Steffen Frahm examining sensory thresholds and sensory processing in children with autism.

While in Denmark, Patti is enjoying cycling on flat terrain rather than in high mountains of Colorado. She is also interested in learning about the Danish culture, educational systems, and health care for children with disabilities.
