Biography
Professor Rose's lab conducts research on the cognitive neuroscience of memory and aging. We study the neurocognitive processes that support working memory, long-term memory, and prospective memory in young adults and healthy older adults. The research uses behavioral assessments, noninvasive neuroimaging (EEG/ERP, fMRI), and noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) to test and inform theories of memory and aging. In addition to studying basic memory processes, the research also assesses how cognitive theories can be applied to understanding memory performance in the real world and how cognitive training techniques can be utilized to improve memory performance.
