Psychology
In my lab, we are interested in explaining human cognitive abilities—especially memory, vision, learning, and how these abilities are modulated by emotion and social interaction—in terms of how the brain accomplishes them. From this cognitive neuroscience perspective, we currently are investigating the nature of implicit memory, effects of emotion on vision and memory, abstract and specific visual processing, perceptual factors in activation and inhibition of stereotypes, and neural components of text comprehension.
