I have two major lines of research. The first line of research is devoted to understanding the tactics that people use to make sense of others (e.g., mindreading, perspective-taking, stereotyping) and how the brain mediates social interactions. The second identifies strategies for managing attention and coping with indecision, and explains why the mind is driven to wander despite heroic attempts to task it. I use both brain imaging (fMRI) and traditional experimental techniques to investigate these interests.
