Research Interests

My research focus is on increasing the understanding of Central Nervous System mechanisms related to cognition seen in severe mental disorders and in the elderly. This is accomplished through the use of traditional neuropsychological paradigms, microanalysis of basic cognitive and motoric processing, psychopharmacological study, structural and functional brain imaging, and diagnostic assessment of psychopathology. Special foci of this work include Schizophrenia, geriatric psychopathology, and vision and motor disturbance.
