Research Interests:

I am interested in higher-order visual perception and object categorization. My research uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI) to identify the contributions of visual and semantic features to the neural representation of object categories. The particular goal of my research is to identify shifts in visual and sematic object representations across the lifespan using neuroimaging techniques in a healthy elderly population.
