Stanislav Kozlovskiy

Stanislav Kozlovskiy (Russian: Stanislav Kozlovsky) is a Russian psychologist and neuroscientist born in Moscow in 1976. His research sits in cognitive neuroscience, focusing on how the brain holds and processes visual information. Alongside his research, he has been active in promoting Russian-language online knowledge and in Russian Wikipedia, where he served as a director of the local Wikimedia chapter.

He graduated from Moscow State University in 2000 and completed postgraduate studies in its Department of Psychophysiology in 2003. Under the supervision of E. N. Sokolov, he defended a dissertation on the psychophysiological mechanisms that store visual images in working memory. Between 2005 and 2008 he worked at the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and later he headed a unit on neurocognitive research methods at the Kurchatov Institute. He teaches at Moscow State University's Faculty of Psychology, covering sensory physiology and tomographic methods in psychophysiology.

His work centres on working memory and the brain regions involved in it, such as the cingulate cortex, studied with magnetic resonance imaging. In 2023 he was pushed to resign from his university post amid the threat of being labelled a foreign agent, and the Russian Wikimedia chapter subsequently closed its project. His findings appear mainly in Russian and international scientific journals.
