Dr. Marotta is originally from Southern Ontario and received a BScH in Psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He then went on to earn his MSc and PhD degrees in Neuroscience working with Dr. M.A. Goodale at the University of Western Ontario, in London.

Dr. Marotta was awarded funding by the McDonnell-Pew Program in Cognitive Neuroscience and NSERC to continue his training as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. M. Behrmann's laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
