Katie Overy graduated from the University of Edinburgh Faculty of Music in 1995 and went on to study the psychology of music with Eric Clarke at the University of Sheffield. Her doctoral research examined dyslexic children's difficulties with musical timing and the potential of rhythm-based music lessons to support dyslexic children's language and literacy skills. While writing her doctoral thesis, Katie spent nine months at the Zoltan Kodaly Pedagogical Institute of Music, Hungary, studying the Kodaly approach to music education. Subsequently, she spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher with Gottfried Schlaug at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, learning fMRI techniques and collaborating on various neuroimaging studies of musical processing. Since returning to Edinburgh University, she has helped to establish the new Institute for Music in Human and Social Development.

I am a cognitive neuroscientist working in the Department of Psychology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby (Vancouver), British Columbia. My research is devoted to analyzing the neural basis of human communication processes, including speech, music, gesture, dance, and emotion, with a focus on motor production, generativity, and creativity in these areas. A major objective of my research program is to develop a general neuroscientific approach to the arts, what I call neuroartsology. My studies employ the analytical techniques of human brain imaging, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
