My research focuses on the neural basis of attention, and the relationship between attention and working memory. How are certain regions or objects selected for attention, and how does this selection influence their representation in sensory areas? Which neural circuits and neurotransmitters underlie this attentional modulation of sensory signals? How does attention bias subsequent representation in working memory? To address these questions we are using electrophysiological and pharmacological techniques in a visual working memory paradigm. |
