    Collapse Overview
    The body of research I have developed has focused on characterizing & augmenting aspects of cognitive control. The approach I have taken in studying these domains has involved a strong interdisciplinary component that bridges aspects of motor learning and psychology in healthy young and older adults, with more recent efforts centering on distinct clinical populations across the lifespan (children with ADHD, geriatric depression), as well as ethnic minorities. My current work leverages state-of-the-art technological approaches to create i) advanced training tools to remediate cognitive deficiencies (see our cover story in Nature, Anguera et al., 2013) and ii) sophisticated approaches using mobile technology to robustly characterizing individual abilities outside of the laboratory.
