Scientific Focus

In general, I want to know how the interplay between sensation and cognition give rise to the rich experience that is human perception. Specifically, in my lab we investigate how images can be briefly held in mind in a robust and flexible way, and used to achieve behavioural goals. For example, when you’re actively looking at your surroundings while simultaneously holding an image in mind – how can your brain best represent both percept and memory?

Methods

We study the human brain using neuroimaging methods (primarily fMRI & M/EEG) and use psychophysics to measure human behavior. Computational approaches are used to answer questions about cognition.
