Current Research

Current Research

My laboratory uses human neuroscience methods (fMRI, EEG, TMS, eye tracking) to investigate mechanisms of learning and memory and their impairment in neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. We also use noninvasive stimulation methods to modulate distributed networks of the human hippocampus in order to test their roles in memory and to develop novel treatments for memory impairment. This research is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health, through the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Institute on Aging.
