Research Interests:
My research interests are in the role of dynamic neuronal networks in
cognitive function, particularly in attention and split-second decision
making. Methodologically, I conduct behavioral experiments using MEG, EEG
and structural MRI neuroimaging tools, as these tools are particularly
well-suited to research within this theoretical framework.
My dissertation, "The Microgenesis of Object-based vis-a-vis Space-based
Visual Attention", is intended to address in part how these two forms of
attention are "implemented" in the brain, in terms of characterizing the
electromagnetic fields present in scalp surface recordings during visual
attention cognitive processing. The dissertation research describes the
nature of how these attention processes unfold over time, differentially
across the brain, and how their composition change over time and space.
