David E. Huber

Professor and Director of the Cognitive Experiments, Models, and Neuroscience Laboratory (CEMNL)

Our research focuses on human perception and memory from a broad-based, computational perspective. To shed light on these basic cognitive processes, we find converging evidence from behavioral studies and neurophysiological measures in combination with neural network and Bayesian modeling. Ongoing research topics include recognition/recall memory, the benefits of retrieval practice, metamemory, letter/word perception, face perception, semantics, shifts of attention, and social cognition.
