Research Interests 

How do we choose our actions given our goals, knowledge, and circumstances? Humans can avoid habitual tendencies and pick the right action for the right situation, an ability termed "cognitive control" or "executive function". Losing cognitive control, due to neurological or psychiatric condition, severely diminishes independence and quality of life. 

Our lab studies cognitive control of memory and action, using cognitive neuroscience methods that include structural and functional MRI, brain stimulation, EEG/ECoG, computational modeling, and testing of patient populations.
