I am interested in neural mechanisms of visual/spatial imagery as well as in individual differences in basic information processing capacities (e.g. the ability to generate, inspect, or transform visual/spatial images). In addition, I am interested in examining how these individual differences affect more complex activities, such as spatial navigation, learning and problem solving in mathematics and sciences as well as in exploring the ways to train visual/spatial imagery skills and design learning technologies that can accommodate individual differences and learning styles.
