Interests

I am interested in all aspects of cognition; my main research themes are vision and language. Because cognition is computation, my approach integrates computational theory development and computer modeling with behavioral studies carried out in my lab and with published data from the neurobiology literature.

Now recruiting graduate students for IMAGINE, the Ithaca-Manhattan Graduate Initiative in Neuroscience. This NIH-funded training program is jointly sponsored by Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College.
