Brain implants in neurosurgical patients enable unparalleled spatial and temporal resolution for examining human brain activity – an opportunity for identifying precise mechanisms underlying human cognition. In this talk, I will describe my research using this approach to study human memory, in particular. I will then describe the need for intracranial research in humans to move beyond simplistic behavioral paradigms and leverage expertise in computational cognitive modeling to untangle complex features of cognition, with the long-term goal of identifying biomarkers associated with various psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this talk is to foster specific experimental collaborations between my new lab at Rutgers in the Department of Neurosurgery and labs in the CCNP.
