About me
I study how we "control" what they consciously experience from moment to moment by shifting their attention. I specifically explore how attention influences what we store into (or experience from) our personal store of memories. I'm generally interested in consciousness, meta-cognition, dreams, and other far-out stuff (like The Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness (2012)).
Out of the lab, I like to do yoga, meditate, scribble in my dream journal...
