Degrees
- B.S. University of Iowa, 1997
- Ph.D. University of Iowa, 2002
Research Area
- Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience
Current Research
- My research examines how mechanisms of visual attention and visual working memory influence how we interact with the world around us. Specifically, how the primate visual system performs figure-ground segregation, attentional deployment during the processing of complex scenes, temporary storage of information in visual working memory, and cognitive control during task performance.
