Broadly speaking, I am interested in how it is that the brain instantiates our internal mental experiences. More specifically, I'm interested in the neural underpinnings of learning and memory, especially working memory, long-term memory, and classification learning. I also have a strong interest in the disturbances of cognition, particularly memory, observed in patients with schizophrenia.
Ongoing projects:
- An fMRI investigation of apparent non-linearities in the relationship between DLPFC activation and WM load in healthy participants and patients with schizophrenia
- An Event-Related Potential (ERP) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) investigation of the role of distractors on recognition and memory for order in working memory (WM) in patients with schizophrenia
- A meta-analysis of amygdala activation in response to emotion stimuli in fMRI studies of patients with schizophrenia
- A role for the medial temporal lobe in implicit category learning: An investigation of patients with mild Alzheimer's Dementia
- An investigation of metacognition of agency in patients with schizophrenia
