JOHN H. GILMAN PH.D., C. PSYCH.
CONSULTANT IN NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
NEUROCOGNITIVE ASSESSMENT & TREATMENT
Dr. John H. Gilman is a physiological psychologist and psychophysiologist by training. He completed his M.A. Thesis at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, employing bilateral brain stimulation and recording of deep EEG potentials.
This was to study the role of the dentate of the hippocampus, and basolateral nucleus of the amygdala during learning in Wistar laboratory rats.
His PHD thesis at the University of Ottawa involved research in psychophysiology studying sensory integration learning in human subjects measured by the skin conductance response.
This study was published in the international journal Psychophysiology 1980, vol 17, no.1, page 1-7. It demonstrated how sensory integration becomes pattern perception starting in the sensory projections areas and becoming integrated in “association cortices.”
His training in neuropsychology included physiological psychology, psychophysiology, physiology, neurophysiology, descriptive and inferential statistics. This culminated with multivariate analyses during his PhD. years. This was in his pursuit of expertise in neuropsychological measurement.
Dr. Gilman obtained his clinical training providing neuropsychological and psycho-emotional examinations to psychiatric patients at the Clarke institute and the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre. He completed almost two postdoctoral years before starting his practice in neuropsychology.
Dr. Gilman’s practice, “Neurocognitive Assessment & Treatment” focuses on identifying and quantifying serious and permanent microscopic brain injuries precluding work return in mild brain injury cases having a GCS between 13 and 15.
