Understanding brain mechanisms of mental events transformed into goal-directed action remains a significant challenge facing modern neuroscience. The aim of my research at the Memory, Action, and Perception laboratory (MAPlab) is to understand the human cognitive and neural bases of transformation across a variety of processes, such as decision-making, working memory, and perceptual learning, that are used to guide the selection and control of actions. We employ a combination of techniques including behavioral measurements, functional brain imaging, neurostimulation, and computational analysis tools to elucidate cognitive transformations that support human goal-oriented behavior.
