Degree, institution, year awarded
Ph.D., University of Nevada, 2004
Area(s) of specialization
Vision and Cognitive Neuroscience
Research Interests
My research interests are in finding and describing the functional aspects of certain neural processes related to cognition, such as visual imagination. I am also interested in the differences in brain processing between experts and novices. For example, does a pilot’s brain process certain and competing visual and auditory stimuli differently than a non-pilot? To assess brain processing, I generally use electrophysiological techniques, like evoked-potential measures.
Current research
Some of the areas currently being pursued in my lab:
- Visualization at early visual cortex
- Cortical measures of crossmodal attention
- Cortical measures of attentional blink
