Biography
My research investigates the mechanisms of visual and auditory perception, mental imagery, and action representation in the human brain. We combine techniques from cognitive and perceptual psychology for measuring human performance, with neuroscientific techniques for measurement of human brain function and structure. I am particularly interested in techniques that have very high temporal resolution for brain activity, including electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Research Interest
Cognitive psychology; thinking, reasoning, decision making, belief bias, intuitive logic, dual processing, parallel processing, reasoning development, working memory, inhibition, individual differences, hypnosis.
