Akira is using behavioral, fMRI and fcMRI methods to investigate the cognitive and neural bases of episodic memory judgments, with a current emphasis on how people respond to discrepancies between memory and expectations. Akira received his Ph.D. on the awareness of memory sensation associated with deja vu from the University of Leeds under Dr. Chris Moulin and Professor Martin Conway.

Michael is using behavioral decision models and fMRI methods to examine how people evaluate the quality and fidelity of their memories.  He is currently examining how judgment criteria shift as a function of potentially implicit learning mechanisms and the factors that govern people's ability to withhold memory judgments.  He received his Ph.D. examining multidimensional decision models of recognition memory from the University of Illinois under Dr. Aaron Benjamin.

Antonio is interested in cognitive flexibility and the controbution of frontopolar cortex to memory attribution.  He is currently examining the factors governing recognition decision reversals and initiating a project examining the ability of adolescents and adults to incorporate externat recommendations into their memory judgments  Antonio received his Ph.D. from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, and also trained with Dr. Michael Rugg using EEG to examine interactions between emotion and memory.

Justin is interested in issues of cognitive control and memory retrieval.  He is currently spearheading two behavioral projects which examine the effects of percieved risk on memory attribution and the effects of having tests lists that do not contain either targets or lures.  He received his bachelor's degree from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

Diana is interested in how memory retrieval is affected by various external recommendations. She is currently working on a behavioral project investigating how people incorporate hints during a standard recognition memory task. Diana received her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis.

Ana is interested in investigating the cognitive and neural bases of episodic  and semantic memory judgments, employing fMRI and behavioral methods.  Ana received her PhD degree from the University of Cambridge, England, working with Professor Lorraine K Tyler and Dr. Helen E Moss on semantic memory. After completing a joint postdoctoral position with Ian and Dr. Scott Huettel she accepted a postdoctoral position studying semantic memory at the Universtiy of Lisbon.

Norbou researches both the psychological and biological aspects of memory. His prior post-doctoral research was focused on developing computational models of memory.  Currently he is collaborating with Ian and , Dr. Roberto Cabeza investigating the role of prefrontal cortex in deliberate memory retreival in the young and the aged.  He is particularly interested in the role of preparatory processes when retrieval attempts are initiated and whether/how these are compromised in the healthy aged.
