Our research investigates the cognitive and neural factors that influence our ability to encode and remember the past.
We aim to gain an understanding of the processes and brain mechanisms mediating performance by investigating how memory changes as we age, examining individual differences in memory abilities, and determining factors that can help or hinder memory.
Our
research
includes
behavioural
testing,
fMRI,
and
neuropsychological
studies.
