My research program is geared towards the development of a unified theory of brain operation that emphasizes the integrative capacity of the brain. One tenet of the theory is that cognitive operations emerge from the interactions between brain areas rather than being the sole responsibility of single regions. The program has two related arms: one to do with technical developments to explore brain integration, and the other is the collection of empirical evidence for this integration. I take an open science approach to all of my research endeavours based on my strong belief that science is meant to be collaborative, not siloed, and it is through our concerted effort that we will unravel the complexities of the brain.
