Biography

My research aims at understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms of human perception, attention, and memory. Particularly, I am interested in understanding the fundamental principles of selective attention, how attention shapes perception, and the capacity and structure of visual working memory. I am also interested in what role attention plays in connecting across sensory modalities to form multimodal objects. My research draws on a variety of methods, including psychophysics, experimental psychology, and functional neuroimaging with a particular focus on EEG (electroencephalography).
