Ph.D., Dartmouth College
(Experimental Psychology), 1994;
B.A., University of Maine (Psychology
and Philosophy), 1990.
Research Interests
Cognitive neuroscience, dyslexia, and music perception. Currently
I am trying to understand the structure of cognition via network analysis
of brain activation patterns. Tomorrow? Who knows.
