Research Abstract |
Resarch programs in the laboratory use electrophysiological (EEG & ERP) and functional neuroimaging (fMRI) methods to investigate a variety of aspects of human memory. These include the cognitive and neural bases of memory encoding and retrieval, as well as how and why memory function differs as a result of healthy aging or neurological disease. | |
