My research investigates the cognitive and neural bases of working memory in humans. Working memory refers to the retention of information in conscious awareness when this information is not present in the environment, to its manipulation, and to its use in guiding behavior. Working memory has been implicated as a critical contributor to such essential cognitive functions and properties as language comprehension, learning, planning, reasoning, and general fluid intelligence. Understanding the cognitive and neural bases of working memory functions is central to understanding normal cognition, as well as its neurological and psychiatric dysfunctions. My current projects leverage neural network modeling (e.g., multivariate pattern classification) to analyze fMRI neuroimaging data of humans engaged in various memory tasks.
