Endel Tulving joined the RRI in 1992 after a distinguished career as a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. Born in Estonia in 1927, Dr. Tulving immigrated to Canada in 1949. He received an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Harvard University. Dr. Tulving became the inaugural Anne and Max Tannenbaum Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience, and conducted some of the first studies that used brain imaging to identify the neural basis of “episodic memory,” a form of remembering what Dr. Tulving famously referred to as “mental time travel.” Dr. Tulving’s contributions to psychology, cognitive neuroscience and the study of human memory earned him numerous awards, including his election as Officer of the Order of Canada (2006), the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (2007) and the National Academy of Sciences (1988), to name a few.
