POSITION
Associate Professor, Emory University Department of
My long-term research goal is to better understand human and nonhuman information processing
through comparative studies of brain and cognition. I use a combination of semi-natural and
conventional laboratory tests, combined with neurobiological approaches, to assess cognition.
I have studied a wide variety of species, including monkeys, wild birds, pronghorn, pigeons, rats, bats,
mice, children, and insects. These investigations were conducted in the laboratory, using both operant
and open-field paradigms to measure cognitive function, and in the field with wild populations. I have
used lesion studies, volumetric comparisons, pharmacological interventions, and comparative methods
to assess brain function.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND SELECTED MEDIA COVERAGE
� Active research collaboration and public education effort with Dr. Tara Stoinski at Zoo Atlanta. For this outreach effort we have prepared a video with the CBN describing our work that plays at the orangutan exhibit. We have also established cognitive testing of orangutans that is visible to zoo visitors, in addition to “behind the scenes” testing focused on science.
