Lab Overview
My laboratory studies how memories are stored, represented, and reactivated in the brain. We use functional neuroimaging, behavioural, and eye-tracking methods to investigate memory. We are especially interested in how the quality and fidelity of complex memories—including memories for audiovisual episodes—can be captured, quantified, and modeled using data acquired from neuroimaging and eye-tracking measures.
Our lab is in the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Hospital in Toronto.
