In this laboratory, we are interested in the neural processing subsystems that underlie human memory, vision, and learning. We use computational analyses and models (e.g., neural network modeling of these subsystems), implementational evidence (e.g., hemispheric asymmetries in the functioning of these subsystems), as well as behavioral evidence (e.g., repetition priming and other learning and memory effects), to constrain theories. The goal is to understand the architecture of relatively independent neural subsystems that underlie these abilities and how each of them may operate differently to accomplish different functions. From this cognitive neuroscience perspective, we are investigating visual form recognition, interhemispheric communication, perceptual-motor skill acquisition, visual working memory, emotional memory, and other abilities.
