Our research is currently focused on two questions. The first has to do with the effects of iron deficiency on cognition and brain health. In this work we relate blood-based measures of iron status, MRI measures of brain iron deposits, behavioral measures of cognitive performance, and electroencephelographic (EEG) measures of brain dynamics. The second has to do with perceptual learning and perceptual organization.This work emphasizes the combined application of behavioral and EEG methods, using the methods of computational neuroscience to link these variables.
