About the Speaker:
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1995, and spent
time as a postdoc at Stanford University and a faculty member at the
MGH-NMR Center/Harvard Medical School before landing at UCLA in 2002.
My research interests are very generally centered around the questions of
how new skills are acquired, how existing skills are expressed, and how
people exert executive control during thought and behavior. We examine
these questions using functional brain imaging techniques, particularly
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Researchers and the general public are both welcome to attend the Psychology department's
colloquia. Reservations are not required, and admission is free. If you have any questions
