Research

My interests are broad. However, they generally center around human memory and cognition, cognitive neuroscience, and health psychology. I’ve conducted research on memory, attention, teaching/learning, anxiety, depression, inflammation, adiposity, and self-regulation. I also have experience with a wide variety of psychophysiological measures, including neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques
