My research focuses on how memories are formed, stored and retrieved. I am particularly interested in how the relationships between information may influence which information is remembered and which information is forgotten. Further, I am interested in how these relationships between memories influences the dynamics of memory retrieval. I also research why repeating information improves memory for that information. To conduct my research, I use computational cognitive models to make predictions of behavior and brain activity. I have used electrophysiology measures such as scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocorticography (ECoG), as well as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to examine brain activity. My teaching interests are in basic and advanced cognitive neuroscience.
