My research is in the area of Health Neuroscience, focusing on the relation between health oriented behaviors and the modulation of neural networks underlying aspects of higher-order cognitive function. A key area of this work is on the application of these behaviors as a means for improving cognitive health, academic performance, and effective functioning in typically developing populations as well as within individuals suffering from cognitive and attentional disorders.
