Taraz Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the interaction between higher-level cognition and lower-level visual motor processing, particularly in the context of cognitive control and motivation. He employs a variety of methodologies including computational modeling, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS), and behavioral experiments. His scientific inquiries delve into the neural mechanisms that underpin cognitive control, exploring how these processes support the ability to adapt one’s information processing behaviors to meet goals. With a background in psychology from UC Berkeley, Lee is also engaged in studying how attention and working memory are interfaced with sensory motor regions in the brain, which can either aid or impede successful behaviors. As a postdoctoral fellow at UC Santa Barbara, and with degrees in psychology and symbolic systems, he continues to contribute significantly to the understanding of cognitive neuroscience.
