Overview of our studies:
At the Memory and Perception in Schizophrenia (MAPS) Laboratory, we are interested in understanding why people with serious mental illness often experience problems with attention and memory. We use techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the relationship between certain brain processes and performance on tasks of memory and attention. By understanding the brain-behavior relationship, we hope to one day be able to develop treatments that target those brain processes more effectively.
