Research Focus Areas

Research Interests

1) To understand the fundamental cognitive and neural mechanisms of human attention and working memory; 2) To understand how cognitive control and human performance is impacted by global physiological states; and 3) To use noninvasive brain imaging techniques to decode current cognitive states and to augment human performance.
