General research interests and goals:


Our lab investigates higher cognitive functions such as working memory, language, and decision making, and how they are implemented in the brain. Our recent interests involve individual differences in cognitive abilities and their neural correlates, the interaction of emotion and cognition, and developmental cognitive neuroscience. In the context of the Bernstein Center, we investigate brain mechanisms underlying individual differences in cognitive flexibility vs. stability.
