Research

I study the neuroscience of perception, memory, and action in infancy and early childhood, using behavioral, neuroimaging, and computational methods. I am particularly interested in visual development and brain mechanisms of complex motion perception. Students with strong science backgrounds who are interested in joining my research team should complete an application. Separate pages describe my research and my lab located in the Moore Building and the new Social & Life Sciences Imaging Center in Chandlee Lab.

I also coordinate the Human Developmental Neuroscience Initiative (HDNI) under the auspices of the Child Study Center (CSC) with financial support from the Social Sciences Research Institute (SSRI). One of the group's initiatives is a discussion group (The Neural and Behavioral Science or NBS Group) that meets weekly to discuss topics in neuroimaging and systems neuroscience. I also maintain a calendar of neuroscience-related events which you may view or subscribe to.

Teaching and Advising

I grew up in Denver, Colorado. I earned a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Brown University and my M.S. and Ph.D.degrees in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience from Carnegie Mellon University where I participated in the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) graduate program.
