Research in the lab focuses on how goal-directed and sensory-driven information are integrated to determine what we perceive. The purpose of the work is to understand the mechanisms of selective attention that flexibly balance the ability to focus on a task of choice and sensitivity to external information. An additional line of work examines the role of working memory in determining whether the interactions between top-down and bottom-up attentional processes are competitive or cooperative. We are interested in both the neural and cognitive processes involved and use fMRI and eye-tracking combined with response time and accuracy measurements.
