Welcome to the Mechanisms of Cognitive Control Laboratory

Our laboratory investigates how people control their thoughts and actions. This ability, termed cognitive control, is a core feature of human behavior, and it is apparent in many areas of cognition, including attention and working memory. Our ultimate goal is to understand how such control is achieved in terms of biologically plausible mechanisms. To achieve this goal, we use a number of convergent neuroscience methodologies, including behavioral manipulations, computational modeling, and functional neuroimaging.
