I investigate the neurocognitive basis of episodic memory—: the unique human capacity to mentally go back in time and re-live events from our past. My research attempts to answer questions like: Why do we forget things we once remembered? How information is efficiently organized in memory? How is memory affected by pre- and post-learning processes? To study these topics, I use various techniques, such as: behavioural experiments, neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) and comparisons between various populations (neurotypical young adults, older adults with age-related memory decline and patients with memory impairments).
