Research Interests
Dr. Larson's research focuses on cognitive control component processes and cognitive control dysfunction. Specifically, he uses neuropsychological measures, event-related potentials, and functional MRI to test hypotheses on how the brain exerts control of behavior, adjusts in the presence of conflict and errors, and under what conditions cognitive control is enhanced or compromised. His recent research is increasingly focused on the role of cognitive control in food intake and exercise, along with his long-standing interest in cognitive control changes following traumatic brain injury (TBI).
