WE possess billions of neurons and trillions of synapses that enable us to acquire an astronomical amount of knowledge. How is all this knowledge organized in long-term memory? Is it represented in a way that retains its link to our perceptual experiences with our environments? How do we seemingly effortlessly access this knowledge to make sense of language as it unfolds in real time? These are some of the questions about the human mind and brain that I find fascinating. I study these topics by asking people to read and listen to language, to describe what they know about objects and scenes and events, and by measuring how quickly and accurately they can make different kinds of decisions. I also use cognitive electrophysiology to measure neural activity in real time while people perform these kinds of tasks.
