My research is centered on utilizing a convergence of information from neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience methodologies to examine the mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI). More specifically, my laboratory uses event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show brain-based changes in how people monitor and manage their environment following head injury. I also have strong interests in the role of motivation, negative affect, and psychopathology (e.g., obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD] and depression) in influencing cognitive control processes and concomitant brain activity.
