Research Interests

Understanding the brain mechanisms by which our mental events are transformed into goal-directed action remains one of the most significant challenges facing modern neuroscience. The aim of research in the Memory, Action and Perception laboratory (MAPlab) is to understand the human cognitive and neural bases of this transformation, in general, and how a variety of processes (e.g., decision-making, working memory, perception and learning) are used to guide the selection and control of our actions, in particular. Visit the lab web site to learn how we use a combination of techniques including behavioural measurements, functional brain imaging, neurostimulation and computational analysis tools to elucidate some of the cognitive transformations that support human goal-oriented behaviour.

Research Interests

I have a wide variety of interests in the field of autism research, everything from depression in autistic adolescents to interventions for autistic toddlers to autistic people’s unique strengths.  My research is strongly influenced by my training in developmental psychology in that I am very interested in developmental pathways in autism and how different types of processing in early childhood affect development later on.
