Specific Research Areas
Neural mechanisms underlying high-level vision and spatial navigation.
Research Synopsis
My lab studies the neural mechanisms underlying visual scene perception, event perception, object recognition, and spatial navigation in humans. We are interested in both perception and memory; thus, for example, our research on navigation explores topics in both scene/place/landmark recognition and spatial memory. Recent work has focused on using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other cognitive neuroscience techniques to understand how scenes, objects, landmarks, events, and environmental spaces are represented in specific brain systems.
