Neuroscience

Research Interests:
Electroencephalography - aka EEG - is a way of measuring the electrical energy generated by brain cells. This lets us study how people think - how we use our attention, process rewarding and punishing information, and learn. It also helps us determine the neurological effects of things like stroke and prenatal alcohol exposure.
