Current Research Interests/Projects:
Psychological, neuropsychological, and neural correlates of medically unexplained illnesses such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Gulf War Illness. Currently funded by NIH to study the functional brain correlates of auditory working memory in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a tool.
