Historically, work in my laboratory has focused on the neural substrate underlying visual mental imagery and the relation between imagery and perception. Recently we have begun to consider the uses of imagery in cognition more generally, and have examined individual and group differences in imagery ability. We typically use convergent evidence, ranging from behavioral results to neuroimaging data to computational models.

We are working with Richard Hackman's lab to study the impact of neurocognitive processes and group interaction on collaboration in analytic teams; more information can be found here.

We are developing software and a cognitive task battery to run on handheld computers; more information can be found here.
