Professor, Cognition & Neural Systems
Professor, Evelyn McKnight Brain Institute
Research Interests:
- Spatial navigation as a fundamental aspect of everyday life, yet something that declines in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions like stroke.
- Employment of techniques like high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), encephalography (EEG), and patient work to understand the neural mechanisms underlying spatial memories.
- Inter-disciplinary research with foundations in computer science (via virtual reality and neural networks), geographical science, cognitive science, linguistics, neurology, neurosurgery, and others.
