Current Research

My research program is focused on studying the ways in which we learn and remember information about the world around us, with an emphasis on spatial cognition. My lab aims to find converging evidence across a variety of approaches, including real-world behavioral tasks, virtual reality, EEG, and fMRI. We also use computational techniques (e.g., machine learning, multivariate analysis, modeling) to analyze the human brain and behavior.
