Teaching

I currently teach Sensation and Perception (PSYC450), as well as Traumatic Brain Injury (PSYC 589), and Functional brain imaging: Image to inference (PSYC 888).

Research

Research statement: I examine the behavioral difficulties people experience after brain injury. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States, often causing difficulties with speech and perception. Likewise, epilepsy is the leading major neurological disorder. We benefit from a recent revolution in non-invasive techniques for observing and stimulating the brain.
