Research Overview
The Miller Laboratory uses neurophysiological and computational techniques to study the circuits and network dynamics underlying goal-directed thought and action. Topics include working memory, attention, categorization, rule-learning, and consciousness. Much of our work focuses on the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s “executive”.
