Pioneering the concept of “neurostimaging” by using MRI as simultaneous neuroimaging and neurostimulation.
What drew you to consciousness
I’m not sure I ever had a choice because I think I’ve been conscious ever since I can remember and I found myself thinking about it so often that I just had to study it!
Hobbies
Risking life and limb for fun adventures and awesome stories, enjoying time with my friends and family, fitness and sports (disc golf, climbing, soccer, tennis), cooking and eating, word games, and making cool neuroscience artwork.
