Research Interest

 he primary mission of the lab is to better understand the neurophysiological basis of human memory. Our particular focus is on spatial memory and attempting to understand the cognitive and neural components underlying it. We employ several different recording methodologies to better understand spatial memory, including intracranial EEG, fMRI, and scalp EEG. Studies in the lab focus on how human hippocampal theta oscillations code for aspects of a spatial layout, which brain areas are involved in overview and first-person representations, how navigation and memory processing are represented in overlapping or unique brain systems, and how the different recording modalities we use tie together or provide complementary information about underlying brain processes.
