Research Interests
- Hemispheric Asymmetry
- Multiple Resources
A number of years ago I began the search for structure within hemispheric processes by administering moderately large sets of lateralized tasks to the same subjects and factor analyzing the results.
I am working to identify the full set of mental processes that are predominantly lateralized to one hemisphere or the other of the brain, and to explore their impact on human performance. This work brings together my interests in the areas of neuroscience, cognition, and human factors.
At the same time we have been examining the impact of the lateralized processes we've identified, on human performance.
Interests: Cognitive Neuroscience, lateralization of cognitive functions , multiple resource theory and application, visual pattern recognition, hemispheric processes in special populations.
