Research areas

My research interests concern:

The systems neuroscience of human memory (including recollection, familiarity, priming
and short-term memory) and human visual object perception (including faces) using
functional imaging (fMRI), electrophysiology (EEG/MEG) and computational modelling.
Methodological developments in fMRI and EEG/MEG, including multimodal integration.

Here are my personal pages.
