Bio/Description

Research Focus

I am a cognitive neuroscientist, with over three decades of research experience in computational and mathematical modeling as well as empirical studies of human brain function and behavior, focusing on the neural mechanisms responsible for cognitive control and human intelligence, and how our growing understanding of these can be brought to bear in the design of computational architectures with more human-like cognitive capabilities. My work lies at the points of contact between neuroscience, psychology, computer science, and mathematics, as well as behavioral economics and psychiatry, and involves collaborations with investigators in each of these fields. Some of the theoretical. empirical, and methodological contributions my colleagues and I have made are reflected in the publications below.
