Research Interests:

  • The primary thrust of research in our laboratory over the past several years has focused on two related topics - schizotypia and asymmetrical laterality as explored by semantic priming techniques. We are applying these procedures to schizotypes, schizophrenics, "creative" individuals, and are moving towards the exploration of the aging brain and Alzheimer's disease.
