Research interests
My research interests include examination of the long-term effects of brain damage on cognitive functioning using behavioural and psychophysiological measures, such as the event-related potential (ERP). These techniques are used to further understanding of the nature of both normal and impaired cognitive functioning. ERPs can provide valuable additional information about how people process information, particularly in cases where overt behavioural responses cannot be reliably obtained.

Projects currently underway in the Clinical Neuropsychology ERP Laboratory include investigation of the long-term effects of excessive alcohol consumption on cognitive functioning, identification of memory impairments following traumatic brain injury, and the detection of simulated memory impairment.
