Dissertation Title:  Role of recurrent computation in object completion PhD Dissertation Advisor:  Dr. Gabriel Kreiman, Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School

For my PhD research, I worked with epilepsy patients who had intracranial electrodes surgically implanted as part of their clinical treatment. This rare opportunity allowed us to record local field potentials and single unit activity from human brain. While I principally used this method to study visual object recognition, electrode locations vary from subject to subject depending on the clinical needs. Thus, I had several other projects that spanned several topics (memory formation, cognitive control, and outcome prediction).
