About
Research in my laboratory investigates the neural and cognitive mechanisms of attention, working memory and executive control. Using a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging studies we investigate such questions as:
- Do the hemispheres makes different contributions to attention and working memory?
- What is the effect of aging on attention and working memory?
- What strategies and training can be used to promote efficient performance?
- How do emotion and cognition interact?
