Vitae |
The Miller Lab uses
experimental and theoretical approaches to study the neural basis of the
cognition. We investigate how categories, concepts, and rules are learned,
mental flexibility, how attention is focused, and, more generally, how the
brain coordinates thought and action to direct it toward goals. Our goal is
to construct more detailed, mechanistic accounts of how executive
control is implemented in the brain and its dysfunction in diseases such as
autism, schizophrenia, and attention deficit disorder. |
