Latest News from the Miller Lab



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.
