Our interest in human memory and cognition encompasses the coginitive and neural bases of working memory, attention, control, intelligence, and nondeclarative memory. The methods that we use include behavioral studies, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), simultaneous rTMS and EEG, and simultaneous TMS and fMRI.
