Research Description

Current research concerns the utility of measures of brain activity, derived using non-invasive procedures, in understanding human cognitive function. My current focus is on measures of movement-related brain potentials and their use in evaluating the nature of communication among elements of the human information system. I am also interested in using measures of brain potentials to explore error detection and correction processes and the mechanisms by which responses, once initiated, can be inhibited.
