Current Research: Michael B. Miller
(human memory, decision-making, cognitive neuroscience, brain imaging) Dr. Miller is interested in the psychological and neural processes underlying human memory and decision-making. His current research focuses on three main topics: 1) the cognitive and neural processes underlying false memories; 2) the cognitive and neural processes underlying hypothesis formation; and 3) individual variability in brain activations associated with episodic retrieval. A major theme in the Miller lab is based on their 1999 Psychological Review article that used signal detection analysis to investigate strategic shifts in criterion as an underlying mechanism in false memories. Dr. Miller's lab also utilizes convergent cognitive neuroscience techniques to better understand decision-making processes in memory. Research techniques include studies of brain-damaged patients (including split-brain patients, focal lesion patients, and developmental disorders) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). As co-head of the new UCSB/Dartmouth Collaborative Brain Imaging Program, the Miller lab is currently involved in a variety of ongoing fMRI projects, including a longitudinal fMRI study linking individual differences in brain activity during an episodic retrieval task to individual differences in strategy.
