Research
My research is one part of a broader practice spanning neuroscience, engineering, and clinical work. I use behavioral testing, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and computational modeling to understand cognition and to build connections between basic science and human applications.

Across my work
-
From molecular modulation to cognitive development
How can changes in the nervous system help us understand typical and atypical development?
-
Neural mechanisms of executive functions
How do neural circuits and activity patterns support executive functions?
-
Measurement and modeling
How can behavior, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and computational modeling be aligned to better understand neural function?
