My research concerns how the human mind controls itself, especially focusing on how we selectively acquire information from the visual field, how the information we pay attention to affects action and memory, how attention influences emotional processing, and what processing limitations govern switching and multitasking. The approaches include behavioral and event-related brain potential measures and, notably, using both to provide converging operations. This line of work encompasses topics including divided/switched attention, attention capture, object- vs. space-based attention, vision-action binding, word recognition, emotion perception, and aging.
