I am interested in the cognitive neuroscience of working memory, cognitive control, and motivation. I use computational modeling of the behavior, brain imaging, and brain stimulation to study how neurotransmitter systems influence their functionality. I am interested in both healthy normal functioning and the etiology of cognitive dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
