Current Research: F. Gregory Ashby

(computational cognitive neuroscience; category learning; memory; attention; decision processes in perception and cognition; mathematical psychology)

Professor Ashby is interested in understanding how people categorize objects and events in their environment, and in how perceptual and executive attention are allocated and interact. The emphasis is on elucidating the neural structures and pathways that mediate these processes, and on developing and testing neurobiologically plausible mathematical models. Thus, Dr. Ashby's research combines a three-pronged approach: empirical data collection, cognitive neuroscience, and mathematical modeling.
