Research

I use a variety of human brain imaging techniques to understand various cognitive processing systems, such as language, memory, object recognition, and problem solving. My most current research focusses on developing functional imaging techniques that are useful in clinical settings, for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. More specifically, I use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess patterns of neural activity in non-brain damaged individuals while they perform a series of basic cognitive tasks that are commonly used in neurological and neuropsychological assessment exams. The benefits of this research are 1) standard claims about which brain areas and cognitive systems these exams purport to measure can be examined through this powerful and more direct measure 2)this research will greatly enhance the usefulness of fMRI in clinical settings, e.g., for diagnosis and treatment of neuropathology.
