I’m really interested in human memory, particularly what we call retrieval. My research addresses the following questions using a combination of behavioral, eyetracking (pupillometry), and neural (EEG, fMRI, concurrent EEG-fMRI, TMS) methods.
What are the mechanisms of memory retrieval?
What functions does retrieval serve?
How do fluctuations in attention and goal states modulate retrieval?
How does aging affect mechanisms, functions, and modulations of retrieval?
My work has been published in PNAS, Psychological Science, Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex, JEP:General, JEP:LMC, Psychology and Aging, and other peer-reviewed journals, and covered by national media outlets. -
