Research Interests:
My research interests center around the interface between cognitive science and neuroscience. My present research employs non-invasive technologies to investigate neural correlates of performance and learning in the human motor system. I have recently focussed on fMRI and on near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging, as well as more limited work with EEG/ERPs. The Neural Systems Group is based at the Massachusetts General Hospital, along with the NMR Research Center.

Projects:

Development of techniques for assessing brain function in remote environments, such as aboard spacecraft

Use of NIRS and NIRI to examine motor performance and learning tasks

FMRI investigation of motor learning for brain injury rehabilitation

Behavioral work on motor learning (aimed at comparing two "modes" of motor sequence learning, namely learning with and without prior instruction on sequence-governing rules).

Exploring ways of dealing with multiple parallel spike train data.

Examining the commonalities between several diverse, highly-parallel systems.

Modeling the intermediate level structure of the brain using a network of networks architecture.

Modeling the network level effects of proximal versus distal inhibitory input to pyramidal neurons.

Other

When not doing research, I might be up to any of the following ...

programming in python
figure skating (or teaching skating)
sailing
rollerblading
skiing (water or downhill, depending on the season)
scuba diving
travelling (usually to my wife's home in Maine, or my own in Wisconsin)
