Research Interests

1. Neuropsychological and brain imaging studies of language, reading, and memory using Magnetic Source Imaging (Magnetoencephalography) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, including fMRI, with school-aged children and adults.

2. Exploring psychoeducational, emotional and neurophysiological profiles associated with specific reading disability, age-related degenerative conditions (such as dementia and MCI), and other chronic diseases such multiple sclerosis, lupus, and cancer.

3. Clinical validation of psychometric instruments for cognitive and linguistic abilities in children including batteries for executive functions, receptive and expressive language, and intelligence.
