Overview
My research program takes a cognitive neuroscience approach to
understanding attentional functioning using a multiplicity of investigatory
techniques including behavioral methods, functional magnetic resonance
imaging and electrophysiological methods.
Currently, I have two main lines of research, a more recent one using
functional MRI techniques to understand the neural components of attentional
functioning, and another of longer duration that examines how interactions
between brain regions, most specifically those between the cerebral
hemispheres, are critical to attentional processing.
