Our work is helping to expose the fundamental principles of information processing and how these processes are expressed in formal models.

At the same time, we also investigate how these processes shape behaviours outside of the laboratory, for example, how we can optimise and accelerate learning and growth, and understand the barriers some individuals confront. Our work encompasses basic short-term, long-term, and episodic memory across the lifespan. We also examine how humans build mental representations of associative connections in the world. We are interested in the role that attention across modalities plays in refining and enhancing the processes of memory and learning, and in how deficits of attention lead to fundamental changes in cognition.
