Assistant Professor

My research focuses on understanding the microprocesses involved in normal and disordered reading. I use behavioral and psychophysiological methods to examine the role of visual, auditory, and attention-related variables on the reading process. I am also interested in the role of attention in modulating brain function across a large number of paradigms, including motor performance, brain-macine interface, and semantic processing.
