18 RESEARCH SUMMARY
171 My research spans a wide range of topics within the field of human cognitive neuroscience. Much of my work has been on vision and visual cognition, including object and face recognition and mental imagery. In addition, I have a continuing interest in visual word recognition (i.e. reading). My work has also encompassed semantic memory and executive functions.
1e2 I am currently pursuing research on the self-regulatory functions of prefrontal cortex in both cognitive and emotional processing. This research includes work with normal subjects who vary in personality traits such as impulsivity, depressed subjects, and children who have experienced severe childhood deprivation and/or prenatal cocaine exposure. My research methods include work with normal and focally-damaged subjects, functional neuroimaging and computational modeling.
