Research Interests:
My lab currently conducts studies across a wide array of research domains (Selective Attention; Multisensory Integration; Object-Recognition; Executive Control) using multiple convergent imaging techniques (high-density electrical recordings form the scalp; fMRI neuroimaging; intracranial investigations and psychophysics).
