My research focuses on human perception and memory from a broad-based, computational perspective. To shed light on these basic cognitive processes, I find converging evidence from behavioral studies and neurophysiological measures in combination with neural network and Bayesian modeling. Ongoing research topics include recognition/recall memory, testing effects, metamemory, letter/word perception, face perception, semantics, and shifts of attention.
